Some projects are about cars. Others are about the people behind them.
Over the past couple of months we’ve been lucky enough to be involved in a pretty special birthday surprise.
The project started when a pair of very proud parents purchased a Honda Civic for their daughter and wanted to make it truly her own before handing over the keys. They had a vision for the car, organised every detail behind the scenes and trusted us to help bring it all together.
New wheels were sourced, Type R-inspired parts were fitted, and then it was our turn to transform the car with a full colour paint protection film installation.
The funny part? The birthday girl actually chose the colour herself, thinking it was for another vehicle in the family. Little did she know she was picking the colour for her own car.
Before any wrapping could begin, there was a fair bit of preparation work involved. We arranged for a number of dents to be professionally removed, several components were painted including the bonnet, mirrors, spoiler, door handles and various front and rear bumper pieces, and the vehicle was thoroughly prepared for the transformation ahead.
From there, the Civic underwent a full disassembly before being wrapped in an incredible satin blue colour PPF.
This wasn’t a quick makeover. More than 100 hours went into the build, with bumpers removed, side skirts off, panels wrapped individually and countless hours spent refining the details. When you’re wrapping a white vehicle in a coloured film, achieving a seamless finish and minimising any visible white edges takes a huge amount of planning and effort.
Watching everything come together was incredibly rewarding. The satin blue works perfectly with the Type R styling, and the finished result looks like a completely different car.
A special thank you to her parents for allowing us to be part of something that meant so much to their family. The amount of thought, planning and effort that went into creating this surprise was something pretty special to witness.
Thankfully we had everything completed in time for the big day.
Happy birthday, and we hope you’re absolutely loving your new ride. 💙🎉
