That looks amazing!! Who cares whether it\'s too everyone\'s taste - it\'s certainly different! Saw a similar wrap on a 911 in one of the Porsche magazines recently (cost £4.5k apparently ). Your\'s looks just as good...

Is it me or can i just see a greddy sticker underneath that bling

Steve,
Spot on man.
 
I had the guys remove the current set of main manufacturer\'s names I had put around the rear arches as the finish was not too good.
They recut the names and reposition them around the rear arches before laying the chrome on.
It produces an embossed look that\'s easily missed unless you catch the light in the right angle.
Hope its sunny on Sunday, I\'ll bring a few spare sets of these LOL

Can you get insurance with it like that. A bloke was in the paper a couple of weeks ago with a mini like that and no one would insure him.

I was thinking when looking at vinyl wraps a while ago that chrome would look awesome on a rex, and it does

But that ones Chrome plated, not vinyl!!

[GhostWKD]

Would bet my rex its vinyl tbh lol

To answer a few of your questions;
 
Vinyl wraps are not classed as a permenant change in colour (like attaching a conservatory to your house, it can be removed later (although I hope the chrome is easier to remove than a conservatory LOL.
 
I checked with my specialist insurance broker before having the chrome added and yes the premium went up!
 
In my opinion this chroming lark will only be a fresh option for 2010, then everyone will get used to it and the industry will move to the next new novel idea, so for once I thought I\'d be fashionable LOL

So is this type of finish legal ?

Thought chrome was for show only and not road use


Lovely job though buddy, me like :Giggle

According to the information about the chrome mini that made all the news a while back it was purely for the noticeability of scratches and so risk of a tonne of claims for new work that made insurance companies not want to touch it.  It was real chrome though.

No article said the actual idea/concept of a shiny car is illegal and one article thought it likely that specialist insurers would insure chrome cars - as evidenced above.

It does look lovely from any angle and up close too

dude.... chrome is so 2009

its all about glow in the dark wraps now.
