Have you used the vinyl cutting tape..? Seen it on you tube can't find where it's sold

Edit just found it

I think your talking about knifeless tape, wrapcut pro is pretty good and available from mdp for about £12 (I know as we badgered them into stocking it) great for straight lines or slight curves, I noticed a few eBay sellers were selling it for twice that

what colour vinyl are you after? Only asking as I might be able to cut you a deal on some top quality leftovers.

Looks great, and I like the graphics and stripes.

I actually saw a 50 foot gin palace being wrapped last week! Amazing! Going from white to blue. Apparently it's becoming popular because of the restrictions on using two pack paints in the open, more in Europe than here though.

Gin palace? I'm not familiar with that phrase, is that like a castle full of booze?:-)

Luxury boat/yacht. (me thinks)

Very nice car! The striping does it! Also like the meshed headlights! Keep up the good work!

Thanks, but it's not quite there yet!
Is there an award for the nicest exhaust note?

Looking forward to seeing you and the car at Stoneleigh soon, I will post you some passes, once they arrive.

Decided to colour match the centre console to the outside of the car, hopefully it will look nice when fitted, otherwise i'll be peeling it back off!
