FAQ

What's included with every order?

Your poster, printed behind glossy acrylic and ready to hang, plus your car's full factory build list as a PDF: every option and package it left the factory with, code by code. The poster shows the highlights; the build list has everything.

Which cars do you make posters for?

Over 40 makes, from Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi to Ford, Toyota and Ferrari. See every make we print. For some makes we read the full factory build sheet; for others we read the car's original window sticker.

My car isn't listed. Can you still do it?

Choose your make on the poster page anyway, or use the form on Cars we print. It sends us your car's details instead of taking an order, and we'll email you once we've checked we can get its factory record. Nothing is charged.

Why do you need my VIN?

Your VIN is the key to your car's factory record. It's how we find your exact colour, interior, wheels and options instead of guessing from the model name.

Is it safe to share my VIN?

Yes. A VIN is printed on the outside of every car and doesn't give anyone access to it. We use it only to build your spec sheet and build list. It's up to you whether your VIN and plate appear on the printed poster.

Should I send a photo of my car?

Yes, it's recommended. A side-on photo helps us match your paint, wheels and any changes exactly. Add it when you order, or if you don't have one right now, place your order and email it to hello@asbuiltprints.com.

What if my car has been modified?

Tell us in "Anything we should know?" when you order, or when you reply to your proof. We can show the car as it left the factory or as it is today, whichever you prefer. The build list always shows the factory specification.

What if you can't find everything from my VIN?

If anything's missing we'll ask you before we send your proof. A photo of your car or its original build sheet always helps.

What sizes do you offer?

12″ × 16″ (30 × 40 cm), 16″ × 20″ (41 × 51 cm), 24″ × 32″ (60 × 80 cm) and 28″ × 40″ (70 × 100 cm).

What's the finish?

Every poster is printed behind a glossy acrylic panel for real depth, mounted on brushed-steel standoffs. It arrives ready to hang.

What colours can I choose?

Five signature backdrops (Silver Grey, Racing Green, Blue, Red and Black) plus 20 more in our Deep tones, Neutrals and Heritage palettes, all at the same price. You'll see your poster in your colour on the proof, and you can still change the colour then.

Can I change something after I see the proof?

Of course. Proofs are there so you can get it exactly right. Changes are free before you approve, including the colour.

I'm buying it as a gift. What if I don't know the VIN?

Choose "As a gift" on the poster page. You can give a gift card, so they choose their own poster and add their own car, or choose the poster for them yourself. You don't need their VIN to order: we'll email you for it afterwards, and nothing prints until the proof is approved. Send it straight to them or to you to wrap.

How does the gift card work?

Each gift card value matches a poster size. Email it to them on the day you choose, or to yourself to print. They pick Detailed or Minimal, the colour and size, add their VIN, and approve their own proof.

How long does it take?

Your proof and build list are sent within 48 hours. After you approve, your poster is printed and delivered in under 5 business days, wherever you are.

Do you ship to my country?

Yes, we ship worldwide. Shipping is free on orders over NZ$150, and NZ$10 otherwise.

Do you have a deal on more than one poster?

Yes, the Garage pack: order 2 posters and save 10%, or 3 or more and save 20%. Mix any cars, styles and sizes. It's applied automatically in the cart.

Can I return my poster?

Because every poster is made for your car, we can't accept change-of-mind returns. If your poster arrives damaged or has a printing fault, contact us within 14 days and we'll replace it.
