    Oh, wow. (I know, my vocabulary can be limited at times…)

    Very impressive work and such a great working area!
    I’m a bit jealous 🙂

    Great looking stuff Ian.
    I’m off to Goodwood Saturday so I’ll look out for them and inspect your work a bit closer 😉 😀

    Top one looks great Ian, well done mate, a few very challenging wraps there.
    i am guessing you will have had to join/patch in places, which can be a pain to say the least. that rear spoiler looks a bit of a nightmare too mate. 😕 :lol1:

    Mactac is a great product, used it for many years before moving to oracal 10 years ago… their macfleet with permanent adhesive is a nightmare to wrap with but once its on, its not coming back off or pulling out of recesses, which is great!… just wish it was easier to work with, very temperamental indeed.

    thanks for taking the time to post your work ian, much appreciated.

    Cheers guys

    Dont look too close Neil! as I said it is all comming off on Monday! The only cutting that had to be done was on the rear spoiler and in the front of the front wing. we could not match the Ral colour with any proper wrap vinyl sojust used the old trusted 9800 MacTac with a bit of heat. It works quite well as long as you do not overstretch as the colour distorts if you do. Took longer than if using 3m but £650 for 3m and £120 for Mactac so all in all not bad.

    The orange Celica was the fastest car of the weekend. 😀

    Saw the orange Celica on Saturday, he nearly lost it at a corner on one run.
    Majorly fast as John said.
    The wrap looked perfect at 140mph!! 😀
    It also came past me in Gasoline Alley at 5mph and looked excellent then too.
    You didn’t wrap a Mazda MX5 in green glitter vinyl did you, there were some awesome overlaps on it. 😉
