Going to have my bonnet resprayed in a few months time. I have a nasty patch of lacquer peel on there.

The rest of the car is pretty good considering the age.

Been in touch with a respraying company just for a quote on a full respray... £2400

I don't think that's too bad however he did say they also prep cars for body wraps

Has anybody had a wrap on there coupe? I'd be interested to hear people's opinions on which they think is better?

I personally think a respray would be better for that metallic finish and shine, but do you get that with a wrap? Anybody got any pictures of a wrapped coupe?

Gimmo's car, wrapped in some khaki matt finish:

Here is one from Malaysia:

I like the orange.

Has anyone plastidipped a coupe yet?

Thanks guys they look very good.

I may go down that road then, il look into it prices etc

some seriously shiney coupes there.

Why would you cover up that new pearlescent white paintwork?

It really does prove sometimes that's it's not what you know but who! Took my coupe to see a friend of a friend who owns his own body shop, full respray including labour etc.....

£800

Indeed, for mine, stripped by me with preparation done by my son and 2K colour coat paint supplied, £250 for spraying all coats and putting in oven.

Would have been rude not to.

I really, really, need to make friends with somebody who owns a body shop

Make friends with the OP; then you'll be friends with a friend of a friend of someone who owns one. Isn't that good enough...?!

Even better,

This will be my Christmas/new year gift to myself. Once it's done I think I'd be petrified parking anywhere, maybe start parking in the furthest away spot available at the supermarkets!

Haha I'm always open to new friends
