Thanks for all your replies guys. i consider the kit first and then if i was to change the colour i'd go for the white, keep you updated either way.

A full vinyl wrap? As in the entire car is wrapped over the original color in vinyl? How is the wear and durability? I have heard of roofs, and hoods and mirrors being wrapped but a full car? I gotta check this out... is the cost comparable to a paint job? Pro's and con's?
