A little D-Sign Studio magic and a lot of creative input deliver a rally classic to compete with the best...

Jonathan Dudley and his team run D-Sign Studio way out west in Milford Haven. As we’re very fond of saying, D-Sign Studio has attracted itself a towering reputation for getting things done and, consequently, the team never knows what’s going to rock up next looking for a bit of D-Sign magic.

Recently, Jonathan took a call from one of the company’s regulars who routinely brings construction plant and vehicles along to D-Sign for livery work. On this occasion though, the client wasn’t looking to transform an excavator but rather a car he’d been working on for a little while and had aspirations to rally.

‘A little while’ maybe understates the case. The client’s relationship with his pet Ford Escort spanned some eight years and the car was a needy beast that money just soaked into. The project was in jeopardy a few times before delivery but persistence paid off and the mechanically and technically restored car got to turn a wheel and, as it turns out, is very competitive. 

D-Sign’s involvement was to make the car look every inch the beast it is. The client came with ideas and D-Sign delivered, but, rather like the restoration itself, a bit of feature-creep set in and what should have been a pretty simple job turned into a very challenging full wrap - much of it designed and proofed live while the job was being done.

The outcome is stunning. Anyone who has ever got to grips with a wrap will see the challenge all too readily. It’s detailed and it flows from one panel to the next. And, just like the sport the car thrives on, this wrap left no room for errors.

Challenging or not, the D-Sign team delivered and the client has a competitive car that can mix it with the best in class whether it’s ripping up a forest tract or attracting admiring looks while at a standstill.

The D-Sign team used Metamark materials to cut the wrap down to size and get the job done. MetaCast MDC our next-generation premium cast wrapping film did the honours and didn’t shirk from its brief. Talk about challenging applications though, rally tracks throw it all and then some at the cars that participate.

It’d be easy to end by saying it was just another day at the office for D-Sign, better though to say it was a day when they delivered a very happy client one of the best motorsports wraps we’ve seen in a while. 

Nice one, D-Sign Studio.
