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.
Points in favour of car wraps and colour change in Leicester
- A matching black roof and chrome delete is a modest way for a Leicester business to make its pool cars look like a set.
- Estate agents, mobile hairdressers and home-visit professionals who drive around Leicester all day can add neat branding to a car without repainting it.
- For a new business launching in Leicester, a car wrapped in brand colours can be changed back if the branding moves on, with no respray involved.
What car wraps and colour change cost in Leicester
We publish guide prices so you can plan before you get in touch. For car wraps and colour change the range is £1,950–£3,750 per car, not including VAT, and the final price is confirmed after we survey the site or check the artwork.
| 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 Leicester project
Metallic
Flecked film that catches the light like metallic paint.
Colour-shift
Changes colour with the viewing angle; needs the most care.
Gloss
A paint-like shine and the easiest finish to keep clean.
Rules for vehicle graphics in Leicester
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.
Covering Leicester and Leicestershire
Our coverage takes in Leicester, the rest of Leicestershire and the rest of the UK. Fitted signs usually start with a site visit so the wall can be measured, the fixings checked and access planned. Window and vehicle graphics can often be priced from your own pictures instead. The Leicester postcode districts we quote for include LE1, LE4, LE5 and LE3.
