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.
Good reasons to look at car wraps and colour change in Hove
- Valeters, driving instructors and mobile mechanics working in Hove often use their own car as their shopfront, so its finish says something about the work.
- Estate agents, mobile hairdressers and home-visit professionals who drive around Hove all day can add neat branding to a car without repainting it.
- In a Hove car park full of silver, grey and white cars, a satin or matt colour change is hard to miss when clients arrive.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Hove
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.
