It was about $720 shipped from America. I got the 3M 1080 stuff which is pretty resilient so not too hard to apply just time consuming. I think I got 75ft x 5ft so 375 square feet. You could get away with using 200 square feet but I bought more because I knew I would make some mistakes.

I reckon you should do it just not military green unless you want a duplicate of mine haha.

Link? Or name of where you got it. Have been wanting to look into it.

I think everyone's going to do this soon a lot cheaper then paint.
I just hate it when the doors are open and you can see the original colour of the car.

How hard is it too apply Timoteo ?

Anthony I got it from these guys, just have a browse through they have quite a few colours:

eBay My World - autovinylsolutions

vdubin, not too bad, the most annoying this is that is keeps wanting to crease, so you have to pull it up and heat the vinyl to get the crease out then try again. You definitely need minimum 2 people. I've painted before and this is definitely easier as you can do a little at a time (like a panel per evening after work) and the finish will still be the same. I'm going to see if I can wrap the door jambs and around the doors and under the door card to avoid the colour change but I'll see how I go.

Haha Hayden, I reckon matte white is pretty nice too. It was either this or that!

Was more worried about what sizes will fit. I know nothing about spacers and all that stuff

buy whatever you like and whatever you can afford and stuff what anyone else says.

just make sure they fit (try them on if at all possible)

Re: MK3 Random Thread

ook up a wheel offset calculator (think one I normally use is called willtheyfit.com or something). Stock vr6 wheels are 15x6.5 +43 so can figure out how they will sit compared to those. Vr6 is 5x100 and Centre bore is 57.1

16s are probably the way to go, and 7.5-9 inches wide with an appropriate offset.
