hi marek
it took 2 of us 7 hours to do completely. not too much to remove on these vans, handles, etc so wasn’t bad to doregards

quote autosign:Not keen on the design but nice fitting job.
the trouble is it’s too busy, believe it or not there were about 20 more photos he wanted adding! you know customers they think they have to say everything on their vans, same with wraps overkill!
appreciate the comments
regards

nice work mate, agree with you on the customer always wants bigger, more, bolder etc… always the same.
any areas of this type of van give you problems?
as for the grafiwrap with grenadeir, was this a personal profile or did grafi or someone else do the profile?
if so, how did you find print quality?
just intrested as i have a van to do soon and its a toss up on whcih one to use as i will need to profile one or the other. 🙄thanks for taking the time to post your work mate.

thanks Rob
Gsigns and Design in bury st edmonds printed it for us, as far as i know joe at graphityp has the profiles for the grenadier. print quality is spot on, no bleed etc. to be honest the vivaro was a doddle to wrap, back doors maybe with the lay down over the different panels tryin to keep everythin straight a bit tricky, other than that no probs.
we didnt exactly rush ourselves took a few coffee breaks, phone calls etc.one of the easiset weve done over the years. (hot)

thanks for the feeback mate, i did think the absense of rear corners etc would have helped because the newer the vans these days the flatter the panels etc
i think joe at grafityp is coming back to me on profiles for grenedeir thats why i was wondering. i guess they must have now sussed it spot on, good to hear! 😉

Nice Job……… 😉
What type of lamination did you go for?
How do you find the grafiwrap compared to other wrap products on the market? -
great job kevin, we’ve got our vivaro to do when we get a minute or two, nice to hear you had no problems, does seem pretty flat panelled, apart from the bottom of the back doors.
can i also ask, why did you not print it yourselves??
cheers

with the graphiwrap vinyl you print to the cast then overlaminate with their lam040 laminate.
we can honestly say its workin great for us, weve wrapped all sorts with it over the past few years its been out, including the dreaded merc sprinter recesses. had no probs heating in in 1 piece, more importantly it stayed there!
cost and performance wise we dont bother much with anything else, unless we have to, i.e. colour match something that grafiwrap cant match as a standard colour, but most the time we just get it printed on plain white.regards

hi stephen
thanks for that.
the bottom ofthe rear doors look worse than they are, the recesses arent that deep at all say compared to the smart car tailgate.good question on the printing, we sold our old mutoh a few weeks ago and are right smackbang in the middle of discussions on a new printer.
it looks set to be a grenadier, and the final decission as to when to buy will come tomorrow, rob has given me some great advice and feedback on his grenadier, and also contact with suppliers.we are just about to do our new addition, a ford galaxy which we plan to use as a high profile advert/repping tool.
beej curtis of organic image has produced a funky background design and logo upgrade for us, looks like it will be the first thing done on our new printer, so watch this space!
(hot)regards

Smart job Kevin 😀 As others have said, the design may not be to everyone’s taste, but it does stand out, definately never seen one like that before 😀
Cheers, Dewi

Man, that is ugly bugly. Customers eh?
Top job of wrapping it though, and 7 hours is very fast, although I was never very quick at wrapping.
