Well I think I would if I was in the market to buy.
What's the verdict from the rest of you guys.

Horrendous

On a Saggy or T350, yes. RCF - NO!

Wouldn't have the car as I'd struggle getting in and out due to a back injury. I do love the vinyl wrap though, I think the guy said it costs about £1,700 to do.

That colour was available on some Mini's and TVR's in the past. By all accounts scratches etc meant a complete re-spray. At least with a wrap you can just get another section put on. Not to my taste and for that money you could buy an all singing, dancing later model.

I saw the ad and quickly moved on

It can join the white and orange ones that appear to hang around for a while, with white moving slightly quicker than orange.

Any decent colour (none of the above) tends to shift quicker.

Love it. The RC, with it's many curves and angles suits this type of colour changing wrap.

I think it's summed up by the way he interestingly describes it as not having ML sound but instead has what looks like the base sound system, which apparently sounds better. Oh and it seems to change hands rapidly.....

I so knew this would be a Marmite thing :tongue_smilie: But how boring life (and this forum) would be if everyone liked the exact same thing.

For me Orange just looks wrong on an RCF but so right on an Escort Mk1 Mexico (or RS Focus) with the best RCF colour combo being Azure Blue with Grey leather, but that doesn't suit the carbon edition IMHO. However White and Carbon, now that's spot on. As for Yellow? Anyone ever seen one in Naples Yellow?

Wont even start on caliper paint / wheel / body combo's that do / don't go.

Is that similar to the tvr paint? It’s not for me but each to their own.

I almost like it seems as though it needs finishing off a bit I'd personally swap the chrome trim for black and black slight dished wheels, the chrome mixed with the colour makes it look like an after thought it doesn't blend together well.

Yes and I thought it looked fantastic. So much so I wanted our new RC to be Naples Yellow with red leather but my social secretary/accountant put her foot down firmly on the No side.. So Azure Blue it will be
