Vehicle Customisation Blog - Porsche Macan Widebody - Prior Design

Posted under Car Conversions on

Our wide body car conversions are one of our favourite products, they can totally transform a car. Take this car for example, the donor car is a Porsche Macan S model. A nice car but a little tame and middle of the road. But our client wanted to make it something special and had seen the Prior Design wide body conversion online and decided to undertake a full exterior conversion

The wide body conversion package consisted of front and rear bumpers, side skirts and wheel arch widening for all 4 arches. Soon we had the kit on the car and began the process of blending in the new parts to give a factory look finish

This is the first exterior wide body package we have done here in the UK. The stock car is a Macan S model, but our client wanted something special and saw this wide body kit online and decided to order one. It was very new at the time so took a few weeks to get it shipped over from Germany but once it arrived we got to work.

The Porsche Macan is a formidable car in its stock form, but the wide body kit offers an eye catching increase in aesthetic appeal and performance. This car is fitted with a front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper wide body conversion to provide an aggressive look and improved aerodynamics. The complete set of parts include carbon fibre accents on the front bumper, side skirts and rear diffuser. The result is a head turning piece of automotive history that will turn heads wherever it goes.

Arlon wraps

Welcome back Arlon

Posted under Car wrapping on

Wrapvehicles would like to welcome back Arlon to our colour change car wrapping range. Arlon was one of our go to vinyl brands several years ago, they had some great colours such as True Blood, and great finishes such as the very popular gloss carbon fibre finish called Monza. There was also the red and blue matte aluminium, a finish that was very innovative and is something that is now marketed by many other vinyl brands as a Satin Chrome finish. Back in 2013 this finish was very innovative and not available from any branded manufacturers (only chinese factories).

Suddenly a few years ago Arlon completely pulled out of the colour change wrap vinyl sector. Stopping production of all colour wrap vinyls and focusing instead on printable wrap vinyl.

 

Now Arlon is back, bringing with it some of the classic colours such as red and blue matte aluminium, and adding to the range with new colours including purple and black rose matte aluminium.

 

The current reintroduced Arlon range can be found here.

car wrapping advancements

Advancements of car wrapping

Posted under Car wrapping on

Over the 10+ years that Wrapvehicles has been around, we have seen a large range of improvements and advancements in the industry. When we started, vehicle wrapping was very new, there were only a handful of vinyl manufacturers and very few dedicated car wrapping companies. Most companies offering vehicle wrapping were signage companies providing the wrapping as an add-on service. Wrapvehicles is one of the oldest dedicated car wrapping brands in Manchester. From our humble beginnings in Sale, Cheshire now to our large vehicle wrapping centre in Trafford Park, Manchester.

 

Vehicle wrapping may now be well into its stride, but there are still advancements being made.

 

Some of the newest advancements we have noticed are very interesting and time will tell how successful they will become.

 

Paint protection film has been a core product offered by Wrapvehicles to our Manchester customers, a regular request has always been to add a satin Paint protection film to a gloss painted car to provide both protection to the paintwork and give the can a new satin finish. In effect the colour change of a car wrap with the protection benefit of a PPF install. 

There is now a new product on the market that has capitalised on this customer request. Providing a paint protection film that is coloured rather than clear. Allowing the customer to have the benefits of both a colour change and PPF. The colour range is small currently but over time it is expected to grow to accommodate a larger range of colours.

 

Another feature from the world of Paint protection film is the self healing properties of the PPF. The majority of the main PPF brands include a self-healing property within film that allows for small scuffs and scratches to be repaired by the application of heat.

This feature was a key selling point for brands such as Xpel PPF when it was introduced and now some car wrap vinyl manufacturers have started to incorporate this technology. Super high gloss car wrap vinyls such as Inozetek include self-healing features.

 

Speaking of Inotezek we have seen a boom in the manufacture of super high gloss wrapping vinyl options. Brands such as Inotezek have innovated to produce car wrapping vinyls that are even closer to real paint in their depth of finish and clarity. They have also worked hard to remove the ‘orange-peel’ effect that is present in many other car wrapping films. This orange peel finish is mainly due to the adhesive layer of the wrap vinyl and the structure of the air-release pattern that is needed for bubble-free installations. The innovations have reduced the orange peel effects so that it is now very very hard to distinguish a car wrapping in Inotezek vinyl from a painted car.
