FAQ

Good questions.

Everything people usually ask before booking. Cannot find your answer? Call or WhatsApp and ask us directly.

Booking and general

Where are you based?
We work from a private studio in Slough, by appointment only. The full address is shared once you are booked in.
Do you only do packages?
No. Every service is available on its own, from a single headliner repair to a full wrap. Packages are there if you want the full transformation at a fixed price.
Can I see colours and materials first?
Yes. We can arrange for you to see samples in person, and you will get a visual mock-up of your car before any work starts.
Can you do my own design?
Absolutely. Bring your idea, a photo or a full design and we will price it for your exact car.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
What if something is not right afterwards?
Our Perfection Promise means any issue caused by our work, like a lifted edge or a mismatched panel, gets put right at no extra cost.
How do I book?
Call or text 07301 910262, message us on WhatsApp or fill in the enquiry form. Tell us your car and what you are after and we will give you a price and a date.
Is window tint legal in the UK?
Yes, within limits. Rear side windows and the back screen can be any darkness. The windscreen must let through at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70%. We always tell you what is legal before fitting.

Vehicle Wrapping

Will a wrap damage my paint?
Applied to good, original factory paint, quality wrap film can be removed later without harming it. Paint that has been resprayed, chipped or lacquer-damaged is more likely to lift, so we check the condition first and tell you honestly.
Do I need to tell the DVLA or my insurer?
If a wrap changes the main colour of the car you should update the colour on your V5C with the DVLA, and you should let your insurer know about any modification. We are happy to talk you through it.
How much does a wrap cost?
It depends on the size of the car and how much of it we cover. Partial and two-tone wraps cost much less than a full colour change. Call or WhatsApp with your car and we will give you a fixed price.
Can I see the colour before committing?
Yes. You get a visual mock-up of your car, and we can arrange for you to see samples in person.

Window Tinting

How dark can I go?
Rear side windows and the back screen can be as dark as you like. The windscreen must let through at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70%.
Is a chameleon windscreen legal?
It depends on how much light the film lets through on your car. We check the film against the 75% windscreen limit before fitting and will tell you straight if it is not suitable.
How long before I can wind the windows down?
Tint needs a few days to cure. We will give you aftercare advice on the day, including when it is safe to use the windows.
Do you tint all cars?
Most cars, yes. Call or WhatsApp with your make and model and we will confirm and give you a price.

Starlight & Ambient Lighting

Can you fit a starlight headliner to any car?
Most cars, yes, including ones with a sunroof. Send us your make and model and we will confirm.
Can I combine it with a new headliner material?
Yes, and it looks even better. Recovering the roof in Alcantara or suede at the same time is exactly what our Starlight Cabin package does.
How much does it cost?
The Starlight Cabin package is £1,299 fixed. Lighting on its own is priced to your car, so call or WhatsApp and we will give you a fixed price.

Interior Re-Trims

What is the difference between Alcantara and suede?
Both have a soft, premium feel. Alcantara is a man-made microfibre used by many performance car makers, and it is hard-wearing and consistent. We will show you samples so you can feel the difference.
Can you match my existing interior?
Yes. We can match your current colours or deliberately contrast them. Every job is finished to suit the rest of your interior.
How much does a re-trim cost?
It depends on which parts you want done and the material. Call or WhatsApp with your car and your idea and we will give you a fixed price.

Headliner Repair

Can you just glue it back up?
Re-gluing usually fails again quickly because the foam behind the fabric has broken down. Stripping and recovering is the fix that lasts.
Can I upgrade the material while it is out?
Yes. Recovering in suede or Alcantara, or adding a starlight roof, costs far less when the headliner is already out.
How much does headliner repair cost?
It depends on the car and the material. Call or WhatsApp with your make and model for a fixed price.

Your car already turns heads in your head.
