Re: mini clubman estate

It all depends on what type of vinyl you want to use.
Roughly about 600 euros

Re: mini clubman estate

A friend of mine has his own business wrapping vehicles and making signs.
It works out alot cheaper than painting, and stress free.
The only problem is when you open the doors you will see the original colour.
Still wondering should i wrap it or not?
at the moment its chocolate brown.
