b:spoke, vehicle wrapping and protection in Suffolk

b:spoke is a workshop based in Suffolk (United Kingdom) dedicated to vehicle wrapping and other automotive finishes and protections. Its work covers full or partial vinyl wrapping, paint protection film (PPF), window tinting, commercial signwriting and digital graphics, as well as the installation of anti-theft systems.

Full and partial wrapping

Wrapping is presented as an alternative to a full respray: it allows you to transform the colour or protect the original finish by applying a vinyl film over the existing paint. The workshop offers both clear vinyl and a range of colours to customise the vehicle, and also carries out partial work, such as roof or mirrors. The process includes surface preparation and panel-by-panel application by a trained technician. The website notes that wrapping typically starts at £1,000, compared with the roughly three times higher cost of a full respray, and that the film can be replaced when it shows wear.

Paint protection film (PPF)

Paint protection film is presented as an invisible plastic layer that shields the paint from stone chips, harsh weather and scratches. Among the benefits highlighted by the company are simplified maintenance, ease of removal, protection against UV rays and its contribution to preserving the vehicle's residual value. Bespoke packages are offered, from coverage of high-impact areas to full car coverage, along with the option of applying PPF over vinyl to increase resistance to scuffs and stone chips.

Commercial signwriting and graphics

Vehicle signwriting is aimed at businesses and fleets: it is large-format work, designed, cut and applied to the vehicle, which can range from simple logos or text to full wraps. The service covers everything from the initial concept to the proof and final execution, and the graphics can be removed at the end of the vehicle's useful life to preserve its resale value. The company serves both a single vehicle and complete fleets with bespoke solutions. Vinyl graphics are produced in various shapes, sizes and colours, for interior and exterior applications.

Window tinting and digital services

Window tinting is offered in a range from 70% to 5% visible light transmission (VLT), using the HEXIS SKYTINT reference. On the digital side, the workshop carries out logo design and digital vinyl printing with eight-colour eco-solvent printers, which makes it possible to achieve shades that are difficult to obtain with standard printing. It also produces and, where applicable, installs bespoke graphics kits for motocross.

Vehicle security

b:spoke presents itself as an authorised installer of the Can-Phantom immobiliser, an anti-theft device for the vehicle. The company states that this service complements its other work in wrapping, signwriting, tinting and paint protection.

Packages and approach to work

The offering is organised into PPF packages and vehicle protection services, with bespoke options according to each customer's needs. The company states its aim is to offer a stress-free experience to both new and returning customers.
