anyone recommend the best make and model wrap, and how much id need for my 5th?

was thinking the 3m 1080 stuff?

I wrapped my CRX, ideally its a 2 man job and its a bit of a pain in the arse

Well I got an eBay Bargin, 3m 3d carbon vinyl...£160 for 2.2x20 meters. You should expect to pay £500-£600ish.

Do it yourself, you only need a mate, a felt squeegy, and a heatgun. Take your time, and plan ahead.

I warped my car, not too bad a job. Nefinately a 2 man though. Bought my vinyl from These guys. http://www.thevinylcorporation.co.uk/
Really helpful, and I think it cost me around £350 in total. I had the bumpers and wing mirrors painted I attempted to wrap them but it didn't look that good.

Get the best vinyl you can afford preparation is the key and some where clean inside to do it and lots of patience and you will be ok
