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 Tonbridge
- In a Tonbridge car park full of silver, grey and white cars, a satin or matt colour change is hard to miss when clients arrive.
- Valeters, driving instructors and mobile mechanics working in Tonbridge often use their own car as their shopfront, so its finish says something about the work.
- A matching black roof and chrome delete is a modest way for a Tonbridge business to make its pool cars look like a set.
What car wraps and colour change cost in Tonbridge
Below is the guide pricing we use for car wraps and colour change: from £1,950 up to £3,750 per car, before VAT. These are not fixed quotes. A written price follows once measurements are taken and your artwork has been checked.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Full colour change, small or medium car | £1,950 – £2,850 | £2,340 – £3,420 |

| 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.

Satin
A soft sheen that hides fine swirl marks.
Rules for vehicle graphics in Tonbridge
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.
