Folks appreciate the kind words & the welcome, have had numerous BM's over the years; joined a forum over here in N.I. a couple of years back & found they had trouble extracting their heads from a certain place. So the warm welcome on here is fantastic. Paddy appreciate the advice have been planning to do it for a while & you know how it's goes, the road to hell etc.., however I do need to sort it as it bugs the life out of me. The wrap was done over here by a company called Art in Motion, small company but very high standard, they do a lot of stuff for main dealers especially on Brand New Lexus' so their standards are very high. Some very kind person (read toe rag) managed to scuff the whole left hand side of the car about a year back they even managed to pull off the rear bumper, before doing a drive off; Was looking at £2k to respray so I took the plunge & wrapped the whole car instead for £1200 & have had nothing but positive reactions since.

Already read some solid advice on here, so looking forward to a few more wee mods.
Anyone every coming across the water, I can recommend some great roads & we only have about 10 fixed camera's in all of N.I. lol

Check out their work at @ http://www.artinmotionni.co.uk/?gclid=C ... AvSy8P8HAQ

Not sure if hyper links work on here if not as I say they are called Art In Motion N.I.

Thanks Mr Tidy, I was pretty pissed at the time, but had been thinking about doing the wrap for over a year, was never a big fan of the silver, that it originally was, so in a way it give me a much needed push, so I guess some times, bad circumstance give good results if you get the twisted logic lol. Have been looking at some new colours for this summer, however if the price was right, I might let it go. 4 years is a long time for me to keep any type of car & it holds me back from restoring an old Corrado G60 that's been sitting patiently in the garage for 3 years :rofl:

Hi Paddy, would never have guessed from your name lol....Originally from up near Armagh, 25 years of living around the world; Carryduff these days Belfast is buzzing ATM, great feel to the city, full of life & tourists. Back roads are still amazing for a blast, probably should know better at my age :) Needing to upgrade the brakes I think spent an hour blasting through the Mournes no so long ago & As I headed from Spelga Dam towards Hilltown had complete fade on the road down from the dam on the cutback, lets just say tight arse syndrome, thank god for handbrakes, lol Going to seek out some advice on here, don't think I want or need to go to the expense of a big brake set up, thinking there should be decent enough upgrades from BM. Some one mentioned that the like of a e36 325/330 set ups should fit. Do you ever come back across.
