Keep it under wraps

Looks spot on. First scratch will be the hard one. The wife is dreading my first scratch, apparently I'll be a nightmare lol.
Could prob get a respray for around £2500 depending on the prep and if trims etc removed. A mate is a panel beater/painter and will do a colour change on a car for about £1200 including prep.

Nope, the €2,500 didn't include the wrap, but it did include welding repairs and all the stuff listed.
Cheers Stu, happy indeed, if not a bit afraid to drive it like I used to. I took it on the mountain today but I kept to the tracks and away from the scratchy bushes!
Cheers Gary,
Yep, first cut the deepest and all that. It's not a perfect job, so I have some head starts, but I'll just keep it as good as I can. I refuse not to drive it, but I'll probably change my style of offroad for a while!

Taking it easy first time out, on Saturday we set off on the one-hour drive from our house to the ski slopes at Poiana Brasov. It was a hot day, some 36 degrees C so some altitude would cool us off nicely.
We took a wrong turn and ended up at a winding station where the track ended.
So we back tracked and went up another way, past the new snow cannon reservoir they built last year.
All easy stuff but steep going anyway. The tracks were dry and not too rutted by running water, it's been a very dry summer so far.
My daughter enjoyed the view from the top as we did, at about 2,300m.
We had a little walk and took in the views.
Gave us chance to have a drink at the cable-car station restaurant
Even the car was enjoying the view
Better scenery on the way down, it was all in front of us, instead!
Then it was the run home for BBQ and some beer, about an hour later.
On Sunday, I reluctantly avoided my favourite narrow lane behind the house because its very overgrown at the moment. Don't want scratches this's early! So I took the long way around on the asphalt road to "The Hill" behind us.
My wife found more of an ass than the one she married!
Lots of horses and cows enjoying the grazing
Then back home to chicken snitzel and some local red wine before the ride back to Bucharest for another week of work!
Anyway, a nice weekend away from it all, and none of it too far away.

Clive, you have to go down a scratchy lane for the benefit of our education!!
Want to know if it works or not so whether to get it done on my 60 when I get it back.
Lovin the piccies, looks awesome. Did the transfag thingy pass 2 years ago and absolutely loved it.

MMMMM, a scratchy lane so soon Moggy, not sure about that. I could lie of course and say it's great!
Maybe next w/e, maybe (the wife will kill me if it scratches!!)
Hi Andy!
Yep, they're great aren't they? The tracks are usually navigable (if you can find them) and although steep in places, they're not extreme. You get some great views from the top and for us it was a relief to get to some more acceptable temperatures, around 26 degrees C instead of 36 degrees! Phew!

Sod's law I suppose...
Well since August last year, the wrap has done pretty well and my new paint job under it has been well protected.
There have been some scuffs in the plastic, but that's what it's there fore and no complaints on that score.
Then, on Wednesday, just before going to Oman for a few days, I went to the car to find this...
I have to park in the street, most timed by a school, and some little barstewards had lobbed a rock over the wall!
Of course it will repair, but what a PITA. Why couldn't they have done that before the re spray?
Actually, the wrap almost saved it, but the force has dented the wing too, so it needs the panel/paint shop anyway.
