Spirit of Ecstacy in Full Flight – Rolls Royce WRAITH 2017

Rolls Royce ‘Wraith’ by name but certainly not insubstantial by nature, the name ‘Wraith’ denotes grace, power and spirit. WINGUARD has been working on a full car PPF to ensure our client has perfect paintwork for years to come.

The Rolls Royce Wraith is rated at 624 horsepower and elegantly reaches speeds up to 250kmph electronically regulated. The nearly 17 feet long stately ride has yet again merged all the classic Rolls Royce styling into a technological 8-speed automatic.

XPEL DAP Database templates were ‘tweaked’ for an uncompromisable fit. The ‘difficulty’ technical rating to install this PPF is a 10/10 and was skillfully achieved by our National experts.

Edges are hidden where technically possible, to make the PPF disappear.

Attention to detail is what wrapping is all about, to have the most seamless and invisible finish possible.

Now this vehicle has the best available paint-protection on the market. The owner can enjoy its exuberant styling and drive without chipping or scratching.

PORSCHE GT3 2018 – 2nd Generation 911 Track Orientated Road Car

This aggressively spectacular new Porsche GT3 2018 screamed into WINGUARD for a full XPEL Ultimate Paint Protection Film wrap. This track inspired 911 has more aerodynamics, traction, technology and power than ever before. The 4L, 500hp engine is heard well in advance before you even spot it.

This model has the super-fast PDK option that allows the car to shift into hyperdrive within a fraction of a second.

WINGUARD experts designed the unique inverted decals on the lower sills, which added to its exclusivity. Over the top decals were also engineered and applied.

Finally the rear spoiler was accented and the car was complete.

‘Carbon Meets Character’ – PORSCHE 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series 2018

WINGUARD has just wrapped the only Agate Grey Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series (MY2018) in the country. This is the latest and most ‘Exclusive’ Porsche offering ever seen in a 911 S to date.

The Turbo S Exclusive has had an upgrade in power with a top-speed of 330km/hr and 607hp/446kw worth of machine muscle. The Porsche Active Aerodynamic design (PAA) tastefully flaunts its design and technology on both the front and rear spoilers and all around the vehicle.

This car can hit 0-100km/hr in 2.9 seconds flat on it’s 20 inch wheels, all wheel drive. The design is pedigree 911, but the finish is out of this world. Most of the panels are painted carbon fibre, and have been rendered by hand. It’s a truly breathtaking finish that deserved nothing other than the best XPEL Ultimate Paint Protection Film to preserve it.

WINGUARD experts realised that this car’s rear diffuser had an exclusively Australian design, and respectively designed the first template for it in the world. No fear driving this beast now, it’s ready to burn rubber – in the most brutally sophisticated manner.

2017 HSV MOTORSPORT – Tribute To An Australian Legend

The strictly limited and most impressive Commodore line in Australian history just finished their production in 2017. This HSV Motorsport rolled into WINGUARD for treatments, wrapping and custom decal applications. The 304kW/570Nm LS3 V8 supercharged engine is enhanced by a four-mode Magnetic Ride Control suspension and a few other modifications. Consequently, a mighty note on the exhaust is heard, not to mention grunt. WINGUARD started by wrapping the full front end with XPEL Ultimate PPF.

With the front wrap complete, the front decals were next. The bonnet decal kit was supplied by our client who visioned the typography and texture with great detail. Our experts hand templated all the lettering and digitally fabricated it so it could be rendered in a gloss red. Have a look…

Piece by piece, the lettering was applied to accentuate all the other features of the vehicle.

The rear diffuser was also wrapped with XPEL ultimate PPF. The glossiness of the diffuser was amplified and given further depth and finish. The final result speaks for itself, keep an eye out (or ear) for this Motorsport!

2017 GT4 Cayman Clubsport – In the Pit-Lane @AdelaideMotorsportFestival

The insightful owner of this hot six-cylinder engine 3.8L GT4 Cayman Clubsport has a taste for speed and detail. The imported rocket was dropped off to WINGUARD for a full body XPEL Ultimate wrap (as it raced at the 2017 Adelaide Motorsport Festival). When it raced on the track, it was pure white… but the owner had further plans for this magnificent Porsche.

WINGUARD removed lights and trims (where appropriate) to produce the most seamless finish possible, so here you can see XPEL PPF edges drying to tack into recess’. At this point the GT4 is mostly wrapped… but it’s clear and unless you see it in person…it’s virtually invisible!

The rear view mirrors are notoriously difficult pieces to apply in the game, but a very important ‘leading edge’, particularly with those stones flinging all over the track. The full XPEL wrap was completed right on time of the AMF and the driver received a well-deserved placement.

The decal application process was part of the owner’s dream when we were introduced to this Cayman. SDS Racing Graphics out of the UK supplied the owner with a ‘Porsche Intelligent Performance’ race graphics kit. This famous birds-eye Porsche racing signature was complicated, yet satisfying, and took a few days to apply around our other racers. This decal kit was like playing a game of spaced Tetris, but the effort was worth it. Each and every new graphic applied to the car transformed it. The original understated white paintwork took on a whole new level of pedigree and muscle.

This is called a ‘dry fit’ and magnets were additionally used to discern where the decals needed to be precisely applied. Please note that magnetically tacking these on panels was safe as they were already protected with XPEL Ultimate PPF. Applying decals in this manner without PPF risks small scratches and scuffs, but a care-free endeavour with PPF safely underneath!
