Hot on the heels of wrapping a Bugatti Veyron in a chrome silver finish, Raccoon have just completed the transformation of a McLaren SLR for Premiership Footballer El Hadji Diouf.

The supercar was originally finished in a normal silver paintwork. Once the award winning Raccoon vehicle wrapping team had worked their magic, it was finished in a jaw dropping highly polished chrome ‘bodywrap’.

On his first appearance in public with the car, Diouf was snapped entering a bar in Manchester. The story was featured in the national press, including The Sun newspaper.

Raccoon are the UK’s leading vehicle wrapping company, with application centres located nationally.

The achievements and now market-leading status of Raccoon were acknowledged unequivocally at Sign Industry Awards 2008, in which the company won not only the award for vehicle graphics, but also, following a unanimous vote of approval by the judging panel, the coveted ‘Sign of the Year’ premier award. 

The award was presented to the Raccoon team by the star of this year’s BBC ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ show, John Sergeant. The former BBC Political Correspondent, who handled the whole event with wry humour, predicted he would last ‘hopefully three weeks’, has as we speak already managed nine rounds of the entertainment show, and is now hoping for a place in the final next month.

For an unprecedented fourth time in a row, Raccoon win ‘Vehicle Graphic of the Year’ at the 2008 Sign Industry Awards.

Our entry for the wrapping of a series of Tuk Tuk’s for the launch of Bollywood movie ‘The Darjeeling Limited’ was deemed to hold a unique position amongst the judging panel for both its visual appearance and technical aspects.  

The project was carried out by the Raccoon (Hampshire) team for Southampton Tuk Tuk importer and entrepreneur ‘Mr Steve’, and was unique in many ways. The attention to detail that went into both the graphic production and vinyl application was unsurpassed in both its precision and technique.

The Tuk’s Tuk’s were an integral part of the movie’s premiere in central London, and this project confirmed, once again, that Raccoon is the UK’s No.1 vehicle wrapping company.

We hope to see you at Westwood Cross this weekend!

 Raccoon’s presence at Truckfest was a great success with over 40,000 visitors to the Kent County Showground over the two days and our stand proved to be very popular.

In fact, we even attracted some local celebrities!

 Martin, our director, met Barry from Eastenders and Milli who helped out on the stand, was quick to get chatting to David Platt from Coronation Street and Chico from X Factor! 

Over the weekend we held a free prize draw with a free wrap up for grabs. We had over 200 entrants and the lucky winner was Matt Browning from Brighton. Matt’s car can be seen fully wrapped at our next exhibition at Westwood Cross in Broadstairs on the 19^th and 20^th July 2008. 

Matt’s new fully wrapped car, a Nissan Skyline, has instantly caught the eye of the custom car fraternity in the south east, and ‘Fast Car’ magazine have shown a keen interest as well, promising to feature it in their next issue. The whole event has definitely put Raccoon on the map in Kent! 

Raccoon (Hampshire) were thrilled to get the call from their Council to say, “you’ve got the deal!”

After paying a visit, and seeing our work first hand the Principal Road Safety Officer at Hampshire County Council couldn’t wait to get started on the re-brand of two of their vehicles.

The quality of our work and dedication to service left him relieved he had found a company capable of wrapping his vehicles to their same incredibly high standards.

The brand new Audi A3’s looked fantastic with their completely individual designs, and with a number of Transit Connects to follow it’s clear our incredible wraps are being recognised throughout Hampshire and beyond.

The Suffolk Show ‘08 proved a fantastic event for Raccoon to showcase the unique skills of vehicle wrapping to members of the business world and public alike.

With nearly 100,000 visitors during the two day show in Ipswich, Raccoon gave an ongoing live demonstration of vehicle wrapping which had many people intrigued.

Fascinated members of the public were drawn to the skilled application, in addition to the visual intrigue of the demo’s, many business people also realised the fabulous potential that vehicle wrapping can provide when looking to promote their company profile or specialist event.

Following the popularity of this event you can expect to see Raccoon at similar events in the future. Watch this space!

Yes, you can see us at TRUCKFEST on the 31^st of May and the 1^st June, 2008 at Kent County Show Ground, Detling.
