Hey guys, does anyone know if a full car wrap includesg the insides of doors etc?

It took me so many months to finally tell the dealer to change my colour to Pegasus White as I'll be keeping the car fully stock for the first few months.

But I'm in love with light blue and the ultimate plan is to wrap it, I think a blue wrap on a white car will look silly when you have doors/boot open etc..

Honestly it probably can be done, but it's not the usual.. It will also be very, very, very difficult to fold around edges without creasing, if not impossible
You might have better luck plasti dipping the whole car..

Hell no!

Well then respray. I honestly don't think you can wrap around door/hood/boot edges. Doesn't mean it can't be done, I just don't see vinyl bending like that :p
The plasti dip was a joke, although once it sets it really is moulded to shape vinyl lol
Either way let us know how it goes

A proper vinyl job can look good even with the edges of the boot and doors. There was a stainless steal look GT351 at Summernats and it was all vinyled. When done properly it can actually can be hard to tell

Do you have pics of this? Sounds interesting
Like I said I don't think it can't be done, it would involve very intricate cutting for the back side (inside) as vinyl can only stretch so far, and to do it "properly" id imagine it woul all meet up around the back of the door/hood/boot without folds/creases, if you know what I mean. In my opinion this is to be done when you can't achieve it with paint, as I think it would be very expensive (as you said properly done)
Because as the question was when the door/boot/hood is opened

A friend is wrapping his E92 M3, so I'll see how that goes. Only other idea I had was to change colour once again to black at least that way it won't stick out.

Does anyone know the height of the boot? (the maximum fit for a subwoofer?)

Pics as requested! Stuff like Door jams and bonnet will still be the original colour so you can easily tell then. However the with the panel gaps themselves its very hard to tell.

That looks awesome
I did mean jambs and shit since that was the op's question (I think? Can't remember now), but with gaps yeah you can't tell, mate of mine wrapped his blue rx8 in matte black, looks awesome even when you open the bonnet looks cool (like a blue tounge ) I love it

I got word from my friend that the insides of the doors/boot etc are also wrapped except for the engine bay.

The engine bay is possible but a lot more expensive and I don't see the point.

So I'll be going ahead with my plan

I'm just going to wrap my roof... just like that other guy , if he has nice black
