Well I got an eBay Bargin, 3m 3d carbon vinyl...£160 for 2.2x20 meters. You should expect to pay £500-£600ish.

Do it yourself, you only need a mate, a felt squeegy, and a heatgun. Take your time, and plan ahead.

I warped my car, not too bad a job. Nefinately a 2 man though. Bought my vinyl from These guys. http://www.thevinylcorporation.co.uk/
Really helpful, and I think it cost me around £350 in total. I had the bumpers and wing mirrors painted I attempted to wrap them but it didn't look that good.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
