Post by: Jesse91 on April 07, 2015, 06:34:02

Hi everyone been awhile since I've posted anything, I've been really busy with uni lately, but I have some massive mod's planned for the coming holidays so look out!

I vinyl wrapped my fuel cover the other day here is the result...

Previously it was plasti dipped black but decided to go for something a bit different. The technique is called embossing and I've see some people do it with business names when vinyl wrapping customers cars, so that's were I got there idea from. Here is a couple of progress photos...

Why the Korean flag...are you Korean yourself or are you just symbolising it with the vehicle?

The latter, just paying homage to the company similar to those with the British flag on the roof of their mini's or the rising sun bonnets you see on Japanese cars

Ok :goodjob2:

I remember some of the Mini's in the club I used to be in had flags on their roofs, not something I'd ever do but it looked ok :)
