When looking to customise and personalise your vehicle, you may be wondering exactly what options are available to you. There are many different ways you can personalise your vehicle and make it entirely unique and your own.
Depending on your own personal preference, there are more permanent solutions as well as solutions which can be easily removed and changed if necessary, meaning you can customise to your heart's content without worrying about damaging the original finish of the vehicle.
One of the main ways people choose to customise their car is by changing the bodywork or paintwork. There are several ways in which you can achieve a new look this way.
One is by respraying. This involves sanding down the original paintwork, prepping the surface and spraying on new paint in a colour of your choice. While this can look incredible if done correctly, often it takes a long time, is very expensive and also is irreversible.
Therefore, alternative options such as vehicle wrapping may be a better choice. A vinyl wrap is heated and stretched to fit the car, leaving behind a completely new colour and finish with zero damage to the vehicle.
This allows for endless customisation and you can achieve many different looks with wrapping, from chrome effects to matte finishes and even multi-coloured reflective finishes. Wrapping is a fantastic option for those wanting to put their own touch on without the permanence of a respray.
Another way to customise your vehicle is by adding branding or advertisements to the vehicle. This can be a great way to market your business and also helps to make your work vehicles look more cohesive.
Often this includes the application of vinyl stickers in your chosen colour, size and typeface in order to add logos and contact details to the vehicle. This allows your car or van to be a portable advertisement for the goods and services you provide and can look very professional.
Window tinting is a popular customisation option which many people choose to have done to their vehicle. It can make a car look very sleek and sporty and also has the functional effect of adding more privacy and potentially dimming sunlight to prevent glare.
There are many different types of window tint, some are darker than others or you could even choose a chameleon tint which reflects in different colours to give an enhanced look.
Before investing in window tinting, it is important that you research the rules and regulations as some tints are thought to be not road safe and are therefore prohibited.
Similarly, light tinting is another option if you wish to make your car look more polished. This involves adding a film over the lights of your vehicle, often hiding the internal bulbs unless they are turned on.
This can make for a very cool and sporty look and doesn’t affect the functionality of the lights themselves. They can also offer additional protection to the lights which can be more durable and protected.
