Alot of publicity recently on vinyl wraps. If you havnt heard of it already, check the links below its basically using graphic vinyl to cover the whole of your car. For £700-£1000 you can get you car done in a complete wrap, protects paintwork, lasts 3-5 years and looks pretty good. Obviosuly there is a risk of bubbling etc but the wrap used and techiniques have made it alot better than it used to be which is why its being used more.
Personally i wouldnt bother getting it done on the whole car, you lose that gleaming paint look and it lasts but not forever like a good spray would. Thinking of getting certain panels done though.

I would get the roof done in Gloss black costs around £80.
I woudnt waste my money on getting a whole car wapped, costs alot (over £1500 for a decent job) and looks no where good as paint an can tell its wrapped.
