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 Islington
- For a new business launching in Islington, a car wrapped in brand colours can be changed back if the branding moves on, with no respray involved.
- Estate agents, mobile hairdressers and home-visit professionals who drive around Islington all day can add neat branding to a car without repainting it.
- Company cars parked outside clients' offices in Islington can carry a small, tasteful logo on the doors rather than a full van-style livery.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Islington
For vehicles, the paperwork is about DVLA and your insurer, not the planning department. Graphics on a van or car that is normally driven around fall outside advertisement control; only a vehicle parked mainly as an advertising hoarding is caught. A change of main colour means updating the colour on your V5C and telling your insurer. We leave the windscreen and front side windows clear, because the Construction and Use Regulations 1986 require at least 75% and 70% light through them, and we check the paint is sound factory finish before wrapping. If the vehicle is leased, confirm the lease permits graphics and how they must come off.
Covering Islington and Greater London
From the middle of Islington to the edges of Greater London, the same survey, proof and fit process applies. If the job calls for someone on site, a visit is booked; if not, we price from photos, measurements and your artwork, then confirm the details once the artwork is checked. Addresses in N1, EC1V, EC1R and WC1X are all within our Islington coverage. Roughly 2.3 miles separate Islington from central London, which lies to the south-west.
