Creative FX teams up with Toyota

Vehicle wraps are catching on fast and hardly a week goes by without the Daily Mail pointing its finger at gauche nouveau riche footballers and D list celebrities with their pimped up motors, even going so far as to call this understated and elegant homage to Louis Vuitton (below) “The Naffest Car Ever”.

But what of those of us simply fancy having an affordable pimped up funky little town car that stands out from the crowd? Well our prayers have been answered by Toyota with its dinky little iQ. What’s more, when you order one of these little bad boys (main picture) you also get to chose to have one of six eye catching body and roof decals that were designed and manufactured by Bromley-based vehicle wrapping specialist company Creative FX.

You can order your choice of designs to include retro daises, aqua bubbles, classic monochrome checks and psychedelic swirls that can be mixed and matched on the body or roof, along with an endless choice of colour combinations. Creative FX was also responsible for training the Toyota staff to fit the graphics at Toyota’s import centre in Bristol.

Director, Sean Davis says: “The versatility of vinyl wrapping means the possibilities are endless when it comes to personalisation. We hope by making the service more readily available, people will appreciate that one size doesn’t have to fit all. Now, you can not only pick the model and colour of your car, but even add your own unique combination of vinyl decals to really make it stand out from the crowd.”

Toyota’s customisation programme is part of a wider collaboration between car manufacturers and Creative FX, as customers demand more choice when it comes to the design of their cars. “More and more people want their car to have a unique colour or design,” says Davis. “It’s a growing phenomenon, and we think it’s only going to become more popular.”

Yes I know it’s a girls car, but Vicki Butler-Henderson looks good in one below.

The iQ decals cost customers an additional £180 applied to the roof, or £200 when applied to the side, all inclusive of VAT and covered by Toyota’s five year, 100,000 mile warranty.
