So is that airbrushed or vinyl wrapped?
It's different I'll give you that, I think it's the bright pink wheels that are too much, everything else I like.

The bright pink wheels would be the easiest part to change. definitely easier than finding a new owner for it.

Just a quick note from a signwriter......the longer you leave the vinyl on the harder it will be to remove,especially the bonnet.........actually if left on to long it will never come of,complete bare metal job to remove and fix

Best way is to heat it up with a hair dryer and peel it of,then remove any left over glue with Wax and Grease remover

Maybe things are better these days, but there was always a bit of fun trying to remove anything off paintwork that had been there foe more than six months. Even if that only entailed a cut and polish.

What you will end up with is a 2 tone white car,and i have actually seen some vinyl prints embed themselves into the paint.....ie: the pattern in the vinyl is still visible in the paint after removal

Yes waldorf, I saw all that back in the day. The last time I put stickers on any of my vehicles was for business advertising. I bought it new and wore it out, so the screwed up paintwork was the most valuable part of what was left!

We just did the rebranding for Essential Energy here, and some of the bonnets we just had to cover in white vinyl it was that bad and hard to remove.

I'd argue the people giving it "attention" don't have taste....well taste that matches mine anyway

One of your better cars. I don't mind it.

Mmm, two pack paint, you should be right removing the vinyl if you ever want to.

Personally, I'd flick the car bra, they do more damage than they save, although strategic use on long trips is probably OK.

Cheers.
