Wow, what a difference. Impressive 👍

Looks good. Nice touch parking in the same spot for the after pic.

Impressive paint protection :)

[TigerFish]

Nice job 😎

 

How much did it cost, and how does it look in the door openings?

Venom Wraps did it cost from £1,300 although I had all the doors inside the bonnet, boot etc done.

[TigerFish]

That's pretty damn good. It was the door shuts that put me off originally with wrapping, but if that can be covered off as well, it's a great way to go.

Looks amazing... and a fraction of the cost of a respray

Hi, I don't get why you show a different car in the first picture? Did you buy another car, and what's wrapping?

The car is the same just a different number plate.

Wrapping is applying a vinyl to the car instead of re painting. Go to:

this will give you all the information you need.

I thought the same regarding the 2 different cars, I do know what wrapping is though...it's a type of music.

[TigerFish]

I'd assumed the first car was before the private plate was put on it.

 

Edit: just seen Derek's reply!

Looks very nice and suits the car well - I have spotted a flaw - in the second picture the car is slightly out of position lol covering the white lines

[Farqui]

Covering the door shuts/etc does make it look much better. Well done

[ScousePaul]

I didn't even know wrapping a car was a thing. Amazing!  Is it durable? How long does it typically last?

[RgrWynne]

Paul it is highly durable, and will last a long time, I understand. Most of the top Powerboats, Sunseeker etc., are wrapped. Being on the sea is an extremely hostile environment and they take it no problem. A big advantage is if you scratch or damage it, you just cut a piece out and put a new piece in, plus it always looks shiny, like new.

3M state 7 years. But given the fact that the car is garaged and covered, it's probably as long as a piece of string

£1,300 seems pretty cheap no?  I would've expected the cost to be 2 - 3 k?

 

And the car looks great btw!

[RgrWynne]

I agree with you I thought it was cheep.

As I said: from £1,300 that's for the outside of the car, each door shut etc costs an additional £100

Venom wraps are a small business and as yet do not charge VAT

Hi Derek,

You are aware, aren't you, just how unique your LS is - it's the only AWD that ever came to the UK.  Definitely something to cherish.

When I bought it from Lexus Manchester they said it maybe the only AWD 460 SE-L in the U.K. but that could have been a tempter to get me to buy it. Anyhow whatever it maybe, the car is amazing and now it's wrapped it should protect it for some years.
