Sorry to here about the bad wrap, Robbie did mine and it bears close inspection. Who is the company you used just so people can avoid them.

oh and tell us who is the company who wrapped it so no one else gets a bum deal mate.
AUTOTECNIXTINTING Window tinting specialists

He has asked me to bring it in on Sat to fix it, but I feel like: If you had a meal at a resturant and found maggots in it, would you tell the chef I dont like what you did cook it again for me?? He could do anything to your food behind your back?? lol. He has been responding to my calls and emails and said he would set it right, but I think my whole body trim is loose now, and also no parking sensors? no electrics on passenger mirror? There is also places where he has used like paint at corners? Im worried now that the trim underneath will need respraying?

I dont know if I should ask him to fix it or ask to put the car back to its original condition.. I want to take the car to Robbie, and just get a refund from this place.
Anyway, some pics of the wrap..... Robbie would have a heart attack if he saw this.....

Also my window seal on both sides are messed up, sounds like the passenger window is open ! when im on the motorway..they are cut !

Mate glad u are enjoying the car!!

Can't believe the state of that fellas work, that's quite possibly the worst job I have ever seen. I'd be getting a pro's report done on damage caused and then fighting for money back and putting it right!!!!

Keep us updated mate.

God that looks bad. Dont let him touch it again as he may damage the paint work or something else.

oh my goodness me. That is a horror show. Absolutely do not let him touch this again. I would have an independent opinion to inspect. Not hard based on your shots. What an absolute crime of a job. Trading standards all the way. That is quite possibly the worst workmanship I have come accross and I thought my wheels were bad.. I am sorry to see that you are in this situation. The whole car needs re-doing. As for the spraying or what looks like white paint on the corners wow.

..........anyway, why not just buy a white one???????????

Demand a refund and nothing less. If you paid by credit card and he refuses to do, reverse those charges straight away.

Wow....that job is shocking. Looks mint from far away in your inital shots but some of the close ups are ridiculous. That bit on the front edge of the rear spoiler is atrocious. Pure cowboy. As others have said you need to be getting serious with this place not just swallowing a £2k loss and seeing Robbie although he could well be the man to get you a detailed report of condition of trim/bodywork etc.

That's terrible. Hate to think of the mess that's going to be uncovered when the wraps removed. As for the white paint that's beyond a joke. I wouldn't let them near the car again and would want a full refund.

Hate to say we told you so...

But a very good point, did you not look the car over before taking it?
As everyone says, get your money back ASAP or small claims court it is.

You're right about one thing, you definitely should not take it back there!
I fear it's going to cost some money to get the car back to good condition...

Wrapping is an art and a skill, there are very few cos that can do it well and even fewer that can do it the level of Valet Magic. He's done over 100 GT-Rs now; if you want your GT-R wrap don't even consider taking it anywhere else (yes even if you live on the opposite side of the country).
