A car wrap is a thin cast vinyl film applied over the factory paint to change the car's colour or finish, either across every panel or on selected parts such as the roof or mirrors.
Reasons to choose car wraps and colour change in Bedford
- A matching black roof and chrome delete is a modest way for a Bedford business to make its pool cars look like a set.
- In a Bedford car park full of silver, grey and white cars, a satin or matt colour change is hard to miss when clients arrive.
- Driving between appointments across Bedfordshire and into Bedford, a branded car keeps your name in view at junctions, on school runs and in residential streets.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Bedford
Think road rules rather than planning rules. In England a vehicle normally used for driving is outside advertisement control, although parking one somewhere chiefly as a billboard can bring it back within the council's remit. Three checks matter more. Tell DVLA, via the V5C, and your insurer if the main colour changes. Keep the windscreen at 75% light transmission or better and the front side windows at 70% or better, as the 1986 Construction and Use Regulations require. And for lease vehicles, read the agreement for what it says about graphics and removal. We plan every layout around all three.
