WHAT?!?!?

You gotta be kidding me right?

We used the same shit at my old work (different brand but looks 100% the same as the stuff im seeing in these pics) to do a bunch of cars, can get it in all different colours, black, silver, blue, red, yellow etc. We bought a few rolls of all different colours (a roll was like 30m) and ended up doing a few cars sub boxes, door inserts (including my own) and for 3 rolls of the stuff i dont remember us paying anywhere near that!

F**k paying that much for vinyl, my god.

Like you said, "different brand", so that's the difference in price.

With the 3M vinyl, it's NOT all about the looks and appearance of it, it's also about the technology they used in the vinyl to ensure that there's no air bubbles.

On the sticky side of the vinyl, theres a grid pattern that's been cut/scored, so if theres air bubbles, you can just push the air through the cut grid and out to the edges.

Unique Comply™ Technology 3M DI-NOC™ Film uses an adhesive system with grid-like channels on the adhesive surface, allowing air to escape during application. Air bubbles trapped between the material and the film can escape along these tracks, making applications to a large and complicated surface easier and ensuring a perfect finish.

nice man,

i haven't been one for the clear coat side of things, but i have a feeling that the exterior work would look nicer with a clear coat on it, i dont know why, but just a thought, either way nice job

If only you were in QLD :D

Id love to get the wing stands and pillars done.

Loving the stands on Ashneel's 34

If you don't mind the hassle, you can send them down to me and I'll wrap it and post it back to you for $60+postage back to you :(

But with pillars, I'm sure you can wrap it yourself, I could send you down 2 strips that's enough to wrap both pillars for $40 :banana:

Damn, you're doing all the bits I've been wanting / pining on doing since i saw them on Import Monster ..

I really need to talk to you about getting like a roll or enough to do all my interior bits, sedan b-pillars (twice as much as coupes), etc.

I've just about given up trying to get it through the distributors themselves...

i hate you so bad charles lol, im gonna have to suck it up and just buy some already haha, i have no doubt that everything you cover will be what i wantd to do as well

Hahahaha! Do you wanna give me your postal address? So I can send you a little sample to tease you even more? :blink:

And I'm being serious too lol, I've got a few little off cuts :down:

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
