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.
Practical reasons to consider car wraps and colour change in Ripley
- In a Ripley car park full of silver, grey and white cars, a satin or matt colour change is hard to miss when clients arrive.
- Leased cars can be run in your brand colours around Ripley and handed back in factory paint later, as long as the lease allows it.
- Company cars parked outside clients' offices in Ripley can carry a small, tasteful logo on the doors rather than a full van-style livery.
What car wraps and colour change cost in Ripley
Prices below are guides, not quotes: £1,950 to £3,750 per car plus VAT, depending on size, materials and access. We confirm the exact figure after a survey or an artwork check, and it is agreed before anything is made.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Full colour change, small or medium car | £1,950 – £2,850 | £2,340 – £3,420 |
| Full colour change, large car or SUV | £2,650 – £3,750 | £3,180 – £4,500 |
| Roof, mirrors or bonnet only | £195 – £650 | £234 – £780 |
Price rises with the size of the car, complex bumpers and deep curves, how much trim has to come off, and the film itself, as metallic and colour-shift films cost more than gloss. Door shuts are quoted separately. All prices exclude VAT and are confirmed once we've seen the car or detailed photos.
Options for your Ripley project
Metallic
Flecked film that catches the light like metallic paint.
Matt

Part wrap
Roof, mirrors, bonnet or a chrome delete on window trim and grille.
Rules for vehicle graphics in Ripley
Advertisement consent does not usually come into vehicle graphics. Advertisements on a vehicle normally used as a moving vehicle are outside advertisement control in England, although a vehicle parked up mainly to act as a billboard is treated differently. The rules that matter are road and registration ones. If a wrap changes the main colour, update the V5C log book with DVLA and tell your insurer. The windscreen must let through at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70% under the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, so we keep graphics off them. Leased vehicles: check the lease allows graphics.
