Somebody (PowerfulUK?) needs to sell that decal. I’d put one on my truck!

They are actually etched into the vinyl wrap (along with the Union Jack) - not decals (I originally thought they were as well). The original OEM Camel Trophy decals are currently available on Ebay.

Just got my Trophy Edition back after having it wrapped in EXPEL PPF and then topped with an EXPEL ceramic coat. Absolutely floored by the finish after having this done. Wheels ceramic coated as well and calipers re-finished in a "Sandglow-esque" yellow to match the wrap and matching tint added to the drive and passenger side windows.

The shop that did the work works closely with my dealer and addressed the few areas of the wrap that needed attention and with the PPF, the wrap is now also protected. Really excited to have the rig back...now for some Lucky8 rock sliders and lamp guards...and then time to get her dirty.

What do you mean you just got it back? Did you originally have a black Defender and you took it to the dealer to get it wrapped?

I didn't know you could apply PPF over a wrap, that's pretty cool. I can kinda / sorta see your painted calipers in the second photo. Great looking truck.

I am sure you know there is a sibling of your Trophy Ed. in Moab at the GARR right now, running on 37" tires and a 5" subframe lift? It's from the Denver, CO dealer, I believe. A bit too much tire and lift for my taste (for one, a 5" lift wouldn't fit in my garage), but it does look unstoppable, and certainly quite unique with that wrap.

You need a set of Duratracs on that rig, those stock Adventures don't look the part.

Thanks. Yea, no issues applying PPF on top of vinyl wrap. Calipers were a challenge to match to the Sandglow-esque color of the wrap, but we got pretty darn close (matched to a swatch known as "Brittlebrush"). Agreed on the tires, will have to do something about that and I understand the Duratracs are are a great tire (will run 20" wheels with dedicated snow tires in the winter - held on to these from my 13' RR Sport).

I did see that unstoppable and Denver-based Trophy Edition...crazy (in a good way)! But agreed, a little too much for me and likewise, no way that fits in my garage...lol.
