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.
Reasons to choose car wraps and colour change in Rugby
- Leased cars can be run in your brand colours around Rugby and handed back in factory paint later, as long as the lease allows it.
- A matching black roof and chrome delete is a modest way for a Rugby business to make its pool cars look like a set.
- Driving between appointments across Warwickshire and into Rugby, a branded car keeps your name in view at junctions, on school runs and in residential streets.
What car wraps and colour change cost in Rugby
Budgeting for car wraps and colour change? The guide below runs from £1,950 to £3,750 per car. VAT is extra. Size, materials and access decide where your job lands, and we confirm it in writing after surveying or checking 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 Rugby project
Colour-shift
Changes colour with the viewing angle; needs the most care.
Matt
Flat and striking; washed clean rather than polished.
Metallic
Flecked film that catches the light like metallic paint.
Rules for vehicle graphics in Rugby
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.
Covering Rugby and Warwickshire
Smart Signs works throughout Warwickshire, Rugby included, and across the rest of the country. A survey visit is arranged for fitted and illuminated signs so nothing is guessed. Window, wall and vehicle graphics can usually be priced remotely from good photos and accurate measurements. Around Rugby, that covers postcode districts such as CV23, CV21 and CV22. Roughly 14 miles separate Rugby from Nuneaton, which lies to the north-west.
