Thanks for all the comments.

I'm amazed at how neat the finish is, no ragged edges.

The interior shot is with flash which brightens the red, with real colour it's a bit more sombre but you don't see much inside.

I'll try not to go off road more than necessary but with a wrap I can order up a metre and get the wheel arches redone if they wear.

This is closer for interior but balance is wrong for the exterior colour.

Not to everyone's taste I know but our house is similar, Madonna would hate it!

Life would be boring without bright colours!

Your green is not a million miles from the Viper Green of my Scirocco 😎

And to me, it is the boldest colours that grab the attention and raise a smile :) A 911 in yellow, Guards Red or a sunny blue. The Mexico Blue Macan featured on here recently. Even a Carmine Red Panamera ;)

Here's to brave colour choices! 🍷

Personally, I love that shade of green, looks nice. If I had a few spare pennies, I'd do the same (my other half is colour-orientated).

But I'd be tempted to spend the extra and go for the door shut spaces too.

I'm guessing that you had to notify the DVLA about the change in colour?

I think that's lovely. Well done! Can I be cheeky and ask was it expensive?

I'll notify the DVLA, just wondering how to describe it; if stolen it would only take an hour to revert back to pristine black.

We had a long debate about the door shuts; I chose to do none as it leaves a neat edge all round the opening. I did get the tailgate shut done.

Total cost incl VAT was £1692 and I budget on five years max life. Door shuts would have been £90 each and I would have done all four if going that way. If you look at your car with the doors open there's no obvious place to stop if only doing the front.

Definitely a job for a professional, the firm I used has loads of experience, you have to be a special sort of person to have the patience to do the job well.

I've got a friend with a Viper Green Golf, close to one of the standard VW options I think?

When I had my Scirocco (2010 to 2013) Viper Green was a 'standard' metallic colour option.

We called him Froggy. :mrgreen:

Nice. I think that colour really suits the scirocco.

I did love it and it got lots of admiring looks, especially as the Scirocco was quite new when I got mine in April 2010. :mrgreen:

Hi Tim, this looks amazing. Do you mind me asking how much it cost to get it wrapped?
