i was woundring is it legal to foil a car instead of painting it ?

it would cost lots of money to foil but its better than painting the car

cuz i like the original color of the car to stay as it is

Foilacar is a German company that opened a branch in Dubai. They specialize in things like windows tinting, car protection, color changing foil, and car design foil. www.foilacar.com it's actually pretty cool to be able to change your car color and protect the original color with their foil! here are some pictures of how they do it.

The car gets in the shop like this..

The foil is applied to it.. again like this..

And with it being legal or not, I suppose you couldn't really tell if its foiled or just a respray I assume?

I guess this is kind of similar to what the Autosalon S15 DA car was like. Instead of painting it mirror chrome and risking the cost of having it painted after every round, they had a fullbody vinyl stuck on the car.

i wanted to do it cuz i use to do it back in dubai

but i called one of the shops back in dubai to order some colors or i dont know what they call them

but when ill get ill let u know

i think ill do my car in chrome i dont know if its legal or no

sorry i dont know the rules cuz im from dubai and i dont know OZ rules

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
