So it is fitting that the Italian striker has had his 160,000 Bentley Continental GT vinyl wrapped in army camouflage. The 22-year-old is not normally one to try and blend in and although his motor was cloaked, it actually attracted more attention. New look: Mario Balotelli’s Bentley has been covered in army camouflage vinyl wrap After Mario pulled up and parked his flashy vehicle at the Carrington complex, plenty of backroom staff and even some players approached it for a closer look. Balotelli, who crashed his car in the Deansgate area of Manchester earlier this year, acted like his car was just like any other normal expensive motor. Even surrounded by the many exotic sports cars owned by his team mates, Mario’s Bentley still easily caught the eye. Causing a stir: Incredulous City staff admire Mario’s latest stunt to keep out of the limelight Cloaked car: Mario admired his own vehicle as his one of his team mates stood next to him If Mario ever grows tired of his latest artistic attempt to express himself, he can at least quite easily have the vinyl removed. Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini will hope that Mario’s new paint job will not be represented in his future performances as he has already been A.W.O.L in recent appearances.

The Worst Vinyl Wrap Ever Depicts a Convincing Kidnapping | Complex
Well, Chris got in touch to say we could vinyl wrap the design on, and since 3M Vinyl Wrap he just happened to have a company called (marvellously) Space Graphic Solutions , he’d be happy to do the honours. Chris told us he’s “based in a field in the middle of Warwickshire”, which certainly has the required degree of rural sheddishness about it for participation in LOHAN. Interestingly, among its many services, Space Graphic Solutions does “reproduction period wallpaper for the BBC and Pinewood”, and recently knocked up some rolls for a film about Bletchley Park. Well, it can now add spaceplane liveries to its CV, although we suspect this is a small market, even compared to that of Alan Turing period backdrops. It’ll be interesting to see how the wrap turns out.

2014 Jaguar XFR Build – European Car Magazine
In fact, Josh has been involved in wrapping since the relatively new trend began. He’s been responsible for many of the wraps you’ve seen in this magazine and at shows around the country. He comes highly recommended by many car builders as well as 3M – one of the main suppliers of the vinyl materials. With that kind of resume, we knew we were in good hands. Rather than a complete wrap, we felt the Jaguar’s Italian Racing Red paint suited the car but needed some help.

The wrap depicts a woman tied up in the back of a pickup truck and was meant to show how realistic vinyl wraps could be, but the realism became a problem on the road. Several calls have been made to the local authorities reporting the “kidnapping” though no action has been taken against the company or the owner,Brad Kolb. This may be worst than the time Ford India released the painting of the Kardashians tied up in a trunk for their Ford Figo ads. Tailgate wrap sales at Hornet Signs have increased thanks to the distasteful wrap, so either people in Waco are sick or it really is a good marketing strategy.
