Common questions.

Three to five working days for a full colour change, depending on the car’s complexity. Partial wraps and accent work are usually one to two days. We tell you the exact window with the quote, and we keep the car until it passes inspection under the panel lights.

No — on healthy factory paint, film protects it. The caveat is honest: on resprayed or already-failing paint, removal can lift weak spots. We check your paint before quoting and tell you plainly if wrapping is a risk.

Five to seven years for gloss and satin on a car that lives outside; longer if garaged. Matte and colour-shift films run slightly shorter, chrome is a show finish at two to three years. The aftercare sheet we hand over is what gets you the top of those ranges.

Yes. Removability is the point — cast vinyl comes off clean with heat and patience, and your original colour is untouched underneath. We also remove other shops’ wraps.

A respray is permanent, affects resale, and good ones cost more than a wrap. A wrap is reversible, protects the paint, and offers finishes paint can’t do. If you want the factory colour forever, respray. For everything else, film.

Yes — accent work is a standing service, booked and priced like any other job. Roof, mirrors, chrome delete, badges, stripes and headlight tint are usually same-day or overnight.

UK law limits the front glass only: the windscreen must let at least 75% of light through, and the front side windows at least 70%. Behind the driver there is no legal limit, so rear windows can go as dark as you like. We fit to those limits — a car tinted illegally can fail its MOT and attract a prohibition notice.

No. Wrapping is the biggest part of what we do, alongside caliper painting, paint protection film and window tinting. We also take on valeting, wheel refurbishment, bodykit and parts fitting, starlight headliners and minor welding work.

Hand wash or touchless, no automatic brushes, no pressure washer at edges, dedicated cleaner for matte. It’s all on one page we hand you at collection.

It depends on the car’s size, the film chosen and how much disassembly it needs — which is why the quote form asks for photos. Send it in and you’ll have a fixed price within one working day. No ranges, no “from” prices that double later.

If the wrap changes the car’s main colour, update the V5C with DVLA — it’s free and takes a few weeks. Partial wraps and stripes that keep the dominant colour don’t need it. Your insurer is different: declare any wrap, full or partial, as a modification. It rarely moves the premium, but an undeclared one can void a claim.

Across the UK, a full front end — bumper, bonnet, wings, mirrors — typically runs £1,400 to £2,500, and full-car coverage typically £3,000 and up. What moves the number is coverage, panel complexity and the condition of the paint underneath. Send photos through the quote form and we’ll give you a fixed price, not a “from”.

Five to ten years, with around seven the honest midpoint for a car that lives outside. The films we fit carry manufacturer warranties against yellowing, peeling and cracking, and their self-healing top coat lets light swirls disappear with heat. Deep scratches don’t heal — the film takes them so the paint doesn’t.

UK prices for the glass behind the driver typically land between £150 and £400 depending on the car — more windows, steeper curves and ceramic film all push it up. Very cheap jobs use dyed film that fades purple. Tell us the car and the shade in the quote form and you’ll get one fixed price for film and fitting.

Cheap dyed film does. The films we fit — ceramic and multilayer, never dyed — carry manufacturer warranties against exactly that. Two honest caveats: fresh film can show moisture blotches for a few days — up to a few weeks in cold or damp weather — while it dries (normal, they clear), and no film survives being cleaned with ammonia or abrasives. Neither is a fault.

Around the UK a full set of four typically costs £250 to £400, with big multi-pot calipers and heavily corroded ones at the top of that. Preparation is most of the job — degrease, strip, mask, then a high-temperature finish. Photos of the wheels and calipers through the quote form get you a fixed price.

Valeting is a deep clean — wash, decontaminate, interior, glass, trim — and the car comes back spotless. Detailing goes further into correction and protection: machine polishing to remove swirl marks, then sealant or coating to lock the finish in. Valeting maintains a car; detailing improves it. Not sure which yours needs? Send photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Across the UK a full valet — interior and exterior — usually runs £60 to £150 depending on the car’s size and condition, with machine polishing and coatings priced separately. Pet hair, stains and neglected paint add time, which is why we quote from photos rather than a menu.

Typical UK pricing is £80 to £130 per wheel for a full strip and powder coat, and £100 to £150-plus for diamond cut faces, which have to be re-machined on a lathe. Kerb rash costs less than cracks and buckles. Tyre-off, refit and balancing are part of the job, not extras.

Look at the face: fine concentric machining lines under lacquer with a two-tone look means diamond cut; a uniform colour means painted or powder-coated. Each recut removes a fraction of a millimetre of alloy, so a wheel only has one to three cuts in its life — after that, a full painted finish is the way back. Tell us if they’ve been cut before.

Fitting a single bolt-on piece is usually an hour or two of labour; a full four-piece kit is most of a day, and bonded parts may need the car overnight to cure. UK fitting prices typically run £50 to £150 per piece, plus the parts and any painting. We fit customer-supplied parts — good ABS or polyurethane kits fit far better than cheap fibreglass.

Yes, fitted properly. The MOT cares about condition and safety, not styling — problems come from loose panels, dangerous edges, or anything that obscures lights, plates or the driver’s view. Bolt-on splitters, diffusers and spoilers don’t need DVLA notification; that’s for changes to what’s on the V5C, like colour or body type. Do tell your insurer, though — the change to your premium is usually small, and not telling them can cost a claim.

UK installs typically run £350 to £1,000-plus, driven by the number of stars, the effects — static, twinkle, shooting star — and the size and shape of the roof. Every install is hand-woven fibre optics through the headlining, so it’s quoted per car. Tell us the car and the look you want and we’ll price it exactly.

Yes — insurers treat anything beyond factory spec as a modification, cosmetic or not, and an undeclared one can reduce or void a claim. Declared, most of this work moves the premium little or not at all. We can’t declare it for you, but we’ll give you the film, parts and fitting details to pass on to your insurer.
