Great choice, DG Very Happy

Fir sure, Steve Laughing. I heard of a guy who had his Mini Cooper wrapped in the same 'tin foil' as this and his insurance company told him to get the wrap off or find another insurer. In the end I don't think he could find any insurance company willing to offer him cover as this sort of wrap causes SO much glare, not only to other drivers, but also to any person driving around in a car covered in this stuff. Can you imagine a ray of sun glinting off your bonnet covered with this?? The reflection from it would melt your eyeballs! Shocked

Elton John had a Audi R8 wrapped the same & had it auctioned off. I believe some footballer payed way over the costs for the car (I spotted it once at Standard services, parked very badly Mad) Looked nice Very Happy

I've been left with the world's most expensive mirror,' he complained. 'No one will touch it with a barge pole.' Laughing

Finger prints on it must be a nightmare! So the guy paid over the odds for a tarted up used Mini, why doesn't he just get it unwrapped?

Wonder how Theo Paphitis insures his mirror finish Maybach? It as an even bigger reflective area than a mini!
