#1: Gem's 2 step back (daily driver.) Author: jimgemlill, Location: West YorkshirePosted: Tue Jun 26, 2012 8:13 am ---- Gem's Daily driver.
Called 2 step back because a few bits have been rushed into without proper research. Eg, aftermarket wheels, after wing mirrors.
Anyway.
Here is the PUG when we got it.
And heres as it stands at the moment.
Here's our boot strip. Not so much a fan of the phase 2 strips, but happy with how this turned out.
I'll hit this up with some more detail later.

#4: Re: Gem's 2 step back (daily driver.) Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Tue Jun 26, 2012 8:56 am ---- wrap the whole car

I think the contrast is quite good, do the door strips in white get some white alloys and a splitter and it will definatly look better.
Might look nice with the seats in white leather to.

I dont think large areas of white will work at all.
#7: Re: Gem's 2 step back (daily driver.) Author: jimgemlill, Location: West YorkshirePosted: Tue Jun 26, 2012 12:02 pm ---- We wanted something slightly different. Going colour coded all round looks great; i know it looks great because everyone has it. Colour coded is my favourite on White and Black cars though.
Went too far with white, Mr Ziggerz, when i hit the wiper cover, wipers will be gloss black all round.
I think it has to have white wheels, or white and moonstone challenger types.
Love the brilliant white car, but not sure i could be trused to wrap a car
And Howey, loved the monestone and white, saw yours and thought it was a great contrasting colour, although not fond of the black bonet.
All the bumpstrips will be white.
Thought long and hard about the interior. Not sure i could go with white inerior, had thought about white leather on door cards and do a half leather trim on the seats. Not sure though.

Starting to get there. I don't think the white bonnet is right. However, its a new bonnet that we have wrapped. The old one was completely cream cracked.
Also started to.get this polo skirt on today. 3inch too short, so fibre glasses the gap. Will fill it tomorrow and have a go at smoothing it to the bumper.

Poor car, looked smart to start with standard.
