Rich use avery 700(new) or mac 9800. Cast is fine but unless you are used to applying it, the two afformentioned will do the job and are much more forgiving

i do like the mactac 9800 been using the lg vision 5-7 year which is cheap and good to use but im not as confident in that as mactac

Never mind the quality for application, I think Mactac 9800 smells better than LG vinyl!!!

Go for the mactac 9800 – but avoid the decomissioning, it can leave a lot of adhesive after 12 or more months.

Richard,
I’ve just been outside to have a look at a Connect and I don’t think you need a cast. I’d use Avery 700 but MacTac 9800, or any good quality material, will be fine.
One way I’ve been caught with this sort of thing before though, is a customer wanting something similar to what you are doing. A calendered vinyl is good enough so that is what we use. The next thing we know is that they buy another van, maybe a Sprinter, where a cast is essential, and we then have a problem matching a cast material to the colour of the calendered on the original van.
Of course, if your customer has only one vehicle, then there is no problem, but I always try to weigh up the possibility of the above happening and take it into consideration when choosing a material.
