I can only imagine the nightmare that would have been to wrap. But looks good!

Yeah, I'm quite pleased with how it has turned out so far. Once it is all finished I will do full photos and upload that.

Looks sweet, wheels don't suit it in the slightest though.
Because nothing is faster than a p plater in a commodore.....
except maybe a p plater on a unicorn

The wheels will be black once I'm through with them. If you're talking about the shape well there isn't anything I can do about that haha.... They were on the Lorax, so if it was good enough for the Lorax it's good enough for me. To each their own I guess.

I don't like the wheels with loads of spokes. It makes it seem like my car is driving on spider webs lol. I like something a bit out there that still holds the 5 point star look present in the stock rims. That's why I put em on.

Very nice. They did a good job aligning the panels it looks like. And cool to see there is a bit of a sheen even though it's a wrap.

Yeah, it's a satin finish so there is a sheen as opposed to the more matte finishes, there are also metallic flakes in it as well which catch the light really well...

Here are some photos of it during the day time so you can see what that's like

Oh my gosh I love that colour.
One of my favourite colours, literally my goal is to have an interior this colour.

Yeah, I thought that as well, but Smurf has had a lot more done to it, and Smurf is facelift whereas mine is Pre-Facelift. Really like that car, hopefully it's in good hands.

I'm glad you like the color Michelle, I'll probably do the interior a bit of a darker blue to contrast with the brightness of the outside.

I quite like it at night too, it's just the quality of my cell phone is pretty bad... At night it looks like it glows and still catches the eye really well. Nothing beats seeing it in person though.
