Nice car! Pictures of the car with wrap and wheel please!

I did wrap my SUV and I'm very satisfied. It cost me 2200$ CAD but I heard wrapping a 993 can be way more expensive. Can I ask you how much you paid?

Yes all Canadian TT's did have sport seats, heated was an option.

There is a thread where somewhere indicating the VIN# for 993TTs which first came into the US and Canada. If I recall correctly, it was actually a group of TT's that were delivered into Canada and mine was one of them too. I think Quad's TT was in the group for the US. You'll have to do some searching for that thread.
Knight, I'm in Kelowna and I have seen another AR 993 TT in town but it has cashmere interior. So there are at least two AR's up here!

Andy does good work in Vancouver but I have a guy in Kelowna that does even better work. He wrapped my friends 993 Cab from black to Riveria blue and it an amazing job so I took my car to him also.

Thank you for the info about the group of TT's. I will do some digging when I get some free time!

The price for a wrap can be all over the map. It comes down to the quality of the material and the installer. I would only use Avery or 3M material as they are the best. In Vancouver it's about 5k for a full wrap. I got mine done for $3300 plus tax.

Andy is my neighbouring business and for you to say " Andy does good work in Vancouver but I have a guy in Kelowna that does even better work." them are fighting words , because I do not know who you speak of in Kelowna but I sure know Andy`s work and I see it basically on a daily basis and it is absolutely top notch .
It is always interesting the cars in his shop that he is working on from high end to very special cars . I can not imagine in Kelowna having any where as much opportunity to show case ones talent in this field .

Why have you not posted detailed high resolution pictures of your wrap ? So we can see for ourselves .
I am not saying nothing bad about whoever you are referring to in Kelowna but I am saying I can not see how his work is better than Andy`s .

Cheers Guy

You think the cost of running a shop or business in Kelowna compares to that of
the lower mainland is the same ? Enough already .

Wow $3300 is an extremely good price. Hopefully we can meet up and check out your car one day when your in Vancouver!

briefescape,

My sister had her Macan wrapped by Andy and I have seen tons of his work and its good!!! It cost her 5k
Did I say he did bad work? No
I have seen his work first hand and my guys work is better in my opinion!

My guy Von in Kelowna has more time because he takes on less projects so he can focus more of his energy on each project.

Do I care!

I was asked how much my wrap was and I told jg291446 the price. I'm not here to start a "FIGHT" on who is the best wrap guy lol.

To install a wrap correctly the car must get pulled apart so you can get the film to wrap around all the corners and reduce the chance of the material lifting. I also had all my lights tinted at the same time. The rear "turbo" emblem was plasti dipped gloss black to match the wheels....
