In 1886, Karl Benz - the founder of Mercedes Benz - introduced what is often considered the first petrol-powered car to the world. The Benz Patent Motor Car was born, and with it began a legacy that continues today.

Style, luxury and innovation are the driving forces behind Mercedes. Not only was it one of the first car manufacturers to put brakes and suspension on all four wheels, but it was also the first to introduce safety crumple zones.

Cars by Mercedes have appeared on the big screen numerous times, from the S-Class used by Jason Statham in The Transporter to escape a gunfight to the 1969 280 SE Convertible driven by Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones's Diary.

Car vinyl wrapping allows you to change how your car looks, either fully or partially, without paying for an expensive respray. Many drivers opt for a car roof wrap because this is a quick and easy way to update the vehicle's style and protect it from snow, rain and wind damage. Typically, a wrap can last three to seven years.

There are usually three steps in a car vinyl wrapping service:

1. first, the car is measured and colours/graphics are chosen;
2. the vinyl is painted and laminated to protect it from UV damage and scratches;
3. finally, the vinyl is applied to your vehicle.
