Wrapping on Van, how @vanvadrouille customized and personalized his converted van

A few months ago now, we got a message on our Instagram account from Clément (@Vanvadrouille). He wanted to know how to customize his converted van on a budget with wrapping. His van used to belong to a bike company in Luxembourg, and you could still see the marks of the bike stickers on the bodywork. So he wanted to hide all that by giving it a unique style that reflected his image.

He therefore chose a matt black wrapping . To give continuity to his front windows, with small stripes on the bottom of the vehicle. He installed the strips himself at home, and as he was passing through the Ain region on his return from Italy. He came directly to our installation workshop at wrapping near Lyon.

It was the perfect opportunity to film the installation of wrapping matt black on his van, with precise explanations on how to do it from our expert installer at wrapping Raphaël. Clément learned a few techniques from Raphaël that make the installation of wrapping very simple and pleasant.

The aim of this video was to show that it's possible to customize your van the way you want without spending a lot of money, and that it's possible to do it yourself. The most important thing, as always, is to have quality materials and the right techniques, hence this video.

Sometimes, you don't need to make major changes to transform a vehicle's appearance, as in this case with Clément's converted van. Installing wrapping on a van transforms the look of his T5, giving it a more sporty/chic feel.

I invite you to take a look at his video (available below) to see his experience on his own and, above all, Raphaël's advice, which changes everything when it comes to installing his wrapping for Clément.

Here are the reasons to choose wrapping to customize your van:

Personalizing your van is an essential part of vanlife. It allows you to create a unique space that reflects your own personality. Among the options available is wrapping , which offers many advantages over traditional paintwork.

wrapping offers endless possibilities in terms of designs, patterns and colors. Whether you want a minimalist, bold or artistic aesthetic, the wrapping lets you create a custom design for your van. It's also possible to print custom patterns or images, allowing you to fully express your creativity and unique lifestyle.

wrapping acts as a protective barrier against external elements such as UV rays, weather, stone chips and scratches. It preserves your van's exterior appearance over the long term. Unlike traditional paint, wrapping can be removed without damaging the original bodywork, which is a considerable advantage when reselling the van. The process of installing wrapping is relatively quick and straightforward, even without experience in the field.

Compared with a custom paint job, wrapping is generally more affordable. Labor and material costs are often lower, making it an economical option for those wishing to customize their van without spending a considerable sum. It also reduces the financial risk if you change your mind about the design.

Customizing your van with unique and eye-catching wrapping can attract the attention of other vanlife enthusiasts. When you share photos of your van on social networks, it's more likely to generate engagement and help you develop an online community. It can also be beneficial if you're considering collaborating with brands or sharing your vanlife experience through a blog or YouTube channel.
