Vinyl wrap. It'd be considerably cheaper and also as it's non-permanent if you come to sell the car you can remove it. It'd probably devalue your car having them sprayed.

Thats my debate, but my mate had his polo vinyl wrapped and its awful looking, some small bumps and the edges aren't too good looking where the vinyl meets the white paint :/ Dont want my polo being devalued when i try to trade it in though :(

I'd find a seriously good, reputable wrapping company. You maybe f'ed finding one in Ireland though :roll: Most people go for the cheap companies and that's when you end up with a botched job and it ends up looking acne-fied :lol:
