Try PPS. It’s like a wrap but is sprayed on any colour you want. Bonnet, engine vowel and four mudguards cost about £600

It’s Paint Protection Spray. It’s about the same cost as Paint Protection Film but you can have any colour you want (except chrome)

UPDATE: I had the panels sprayed blue (A Fiat coloureventually chosen!?) and then the orange stripe & logos added in vinyl. Really pleased with the result 😊 I’ve kept the original yellow panels so i can return the car to “anonymous” factory look. Put gulf panels on when i took the car back to the factory for service & the Ariel guys were very complimentary (yes i know - they would be, wouldn’t they!) Comments?

Smart 👍

What are you hanging the spare set on?
GR Yaris CP for when it rains, Atom 4 for when it doesn’t.

Just a couple of crude brackets i made from modified tool hooks. Basically stole the idea from what they do at the factory 😊
