It's quite common now I think, google will bring back loads of examples. A friend of mine does this for a living , he quoted me £600 cash or £700 with receipt and that was to wrap the full car Matt white with 3 year warranty  :smiley:

I've been quoted £1300 :( I found kits on ebay to do it yourself but not sure how easy it is!

Had my m3 wrapped in gloss white last year,it cost me £1300 but don't include the door shuts...was looking at them wrapping it,looks easy on the big panels but the hard bits are the door handles,bumpers etc etc

Personally i wouldnt think about wrapping car yourself unless got some sort of knowledge or experience in similar roles. Make sure you dont just go with a company for cost as well. Ive seen some poor wraps on cars.

Do look good though in my opinion  :happy2:

When I had my RS4 a few owners on the forum had it done, one guy took it off a year or so later to find his lacquer came off with it in places.. Just a word of warning!
