Shown your pics to my wrapping and tinting mate and he says your doing a cracking job. Can't the boot be done in one piece? I see you have trim tape in place.

It could of been done in one piece however the amount of stretch needed starts starts to distort the wrap . I watched a few tutorials on YouTube and decided to go for two

Mmmmmmm I wonder how much a full respray would be in relation to a full rap ??
To wrap z4 roadster £8-900, to respray in different color £1200-1500 , wrapped my m3 and it looks as good as paint, however would never do that again.
Any idea what sort of cost if respray in same colour? Considering doing mine but the cost could be a large chunk of what the cars worth.

My mate said you could do the boot in one piece quite easy. Doing in 2 pieces he said it would have been better doing the bottom piece first.

Who's is the van? Is this a DIY wrap or do you wrap for a living? Or was that a delivery driver? Sorry for all the questions!

Good work by the way.

Van is mine I wrapped it on a wrapping course , once the z4 is done I'm going to do bits and bobs for people but during the summer the garden and tree surgery business is the busiest so I won't take full cars on
