I was quoted £4.5k for colour change paint.
£3.2k for white respray.

It's declared on my insurance as external cosmetic modifications.

I specifically asked them what to list it as. They advised as such. Cost me £9 via the Web portal.
Admiral.

A fair bit cheaper than paint then. Good result with your insurer, some are funny about a colour change. Do you have to update the colour on the V5?

Always used to be the case that because a wrap is considered temporary that you didn’t need to inform the DVLA but it looks like they changed their rules back in 2017 and you now need to tell them.

Did you need to rectify any stone chips before you took it there?

I see you mentioned having some dents removed but wondered if these places did any sort of prep ahead of the wrap.

Nice colour - when the sun hits it, it really makes it pop.

Would like my car wrapped as I'm not a huge fan of the colour but the cost would get me a hybrid turbo instead so I doubt a wrap will happen lol.

What is the expected life of a wrap like this?

Depends on if its looks after.
