Angus from AJ Autos (Castle Hill, NSW) reached out to us after hearing some big praise from one of our recent clients. He wasn’t just looking for another wrap shop — he wanted a team that could deliver his vision and blow it out of the park.
And we knew straight away — this was going to be special.
After half an hour on the phone, Angus was convinced he'd found the right match. His goal? To create a tribute to the Prodrive WRC99 livery — the perfect pairing for his World Rally Blue WRX GC8.
The Design Mission
We jumped in headfirst. The first stage? Research.
Studying the car, the livery’s lineage, and every brand, logo, and sticker that earned its place on the WRC99 canvas. Being a nearly 20-year-old spec, some logos were long extinct. Like IHI Turbo — which we redrew and fully re-vectorised to match the original.
Color accuracy mattered too. Printed in-house on our Roland VG3 using Arlon SLX+ and matched with a high-gloss laminate, the final result gave us depth, punch, and precision.
The Transformation
Angus brought the car over with pure excitement, and we got to work straight away.
-
✅ Prep: Two-bucket wash, full clay bar, and a light paint correction on the boot lid.
-
✅ Install: The Arlon SLX worked like a dream. Each decal placed with intent — measured, clean, precise.
By day’s end, the GC8 was no longer a clean slate. It was rally royalty reborn.
The Unveil
Our favourite part.
Angus texted — “I’m here.” You could feel the buzz through the screen.
Moments later, he was in front of his car, lit up with pure joy. His team from AJ Autos came down too — all of them just standing there, soaking it in.
The transformation hit hard. The smiles said it all.
This Is Why We Do It
This was one of those projects where everything just clicked — the car, the client, the craft. Seeing that WRX rumble off wrapped in WRC99 glory reminded us why we love this.
These are the builds we live for.
