It's a wrap. Wraps are naff as we all know, but there ya go.

Akagi · 12 Oct 2017 at 09:55

Doesnt look too bad IMO. Those satin effect wraps work OK on certain cars.

That's a funny shade of blue...

(stupid question probably) Do you have to tell the gov when you wrap a vehicle in a colour which isn't the existing colour?

Yup.

Your supposed to, but most don't bother.

What are the ramifications of not doing so? I imagine it's pretty serious. Police looking for Blue car when it's actually Red etc?

Nasher · 12 Oct 2017 at 10:21

Dunno, I've never met anyone who got "caught"

The colour on the V5 would be wrong too, but a lot of people remove the wrap before they sell it.

Akagi · 12 Oct 2017 at 11:04

it makes sense that you should have to tell them, but i thought you didnt have to because it is classed as temporary?

Maybe thats insurance?

You always had to tell your insurer, but as I understand it the DVLA clarified the position on wraps (and plastidip etc) a while ago and they stated that any change had to be declared - there's no definition of temporary. To me, temporary would mean a few weeks, not 3-5 years (which seems to be the accepted lifetime of a wrap).

The car has changed colour. Full stop.

Supercharged M6

I bet that thing is a savage!

BananaDunka · 13 Oct 2017 at 10:40

Sounded mad just cruising along too

The most impressive M6 in existence is the G-Power one though. Bi-Supercharged, 800BHP, 800Nm, makes a 911 Turbo wince in one German review video!

It's the V5 that doesn't need updating if it's just a wrap iirc.

And over in E30 land there are people in Brum selling blue V8 swapped manual 2 doors which are still registered as beige 1.8 autos

lol 44k plus premium for a 2011 Focus RS.

Akagi · 13 Oct 2017 at 15:17

18 miles on the clock. A collector will have it.

I don't understand people who buy a car like that to just never drive it

Nasher · 13 Oct 2017 at 15:39

Same reason there are streets of empty houses in London.

Don't make the same mistake twice and buy another car from Brum.

But £115k for a Sierra RS500!!!!

I mean 6k miles.. it looks immaculate and they were always one of my dream cars (I'm 40) but OMG.... I'd have a tesla and a hell of a holiday instead of a bloody Sierra!
