Top 10 crimes against cars: it's a wrap and other eyesores
Vinyl wrap, the practice of covering a car in a second skin of questionable taste, has a lot to answer for.
VINYL WRAP, the practice of covering a car in a second skin of questionable taste, has a lot to answer for. The latest to “benefit” from the material’s tight embrace is the Ferrari 458 of kickboxing world champion Riyadh al-Azzawi.
While he was in a London gym at the weekend, he left his £200,000 supercar in an on-street parking bay. If he didn’t receive a ticket, he should have. His crime? Enveloping the 458’s otherwise gorgeous body in a tacky, gold-coloured wrap. Al-Azzawi’s attack on his Ferrari, and the good name of cars in general, prompted Driving to recall other crimes against our innocent, four-wheeled friends.
