Passionate new wrap business raising funds to buy tools, a $37k printer & hire a workspace so I can bring custom cars & job opportunities
Christchurch, Canterbury
Kia ora, I’m Ann-Marie, and I’m starting a custom car wrap business called Pro Street Customs here in Christchurch. I’ve finally found something I love, transforming cars through wraps, roof starlights, tinting, and accessories – but getting started hasn’t been easy. With no savings, no benefit support, and no access to grants or loans, I’ve had to hustle for every step.
I’m determined to build a creative, community-driven space that offers something fresh to the car scene a place where people can get quality custom work, feel welcome, and eventually even find job opportunities through this kaupapa.
I just need help to take that first step. Your support will help me get the tools, gear, and small workshop I need to start doing paid work properly and safely. Even $5 helps. Thank you for backing someone who's giving it everything to build something real.
Like many people trying to start from the ground up, I’ve hit major roadblocks.
No savings
No collateral for loans
No government support available (not on a benefit)
And no access to most startup grants
But I’m not giving up - because I believe in this 100%.
💡 What is Pro Street Customs?
It starts as a one-woman wrap shop. But the dream is bigger.
Pro Street Customs will become a creative automotive hub – a space where people can get quality wraps, learn new skills, and feel part of something exciting.
I want to create a place that brings people together through a passion of cars and community.

hay everyone we have decided to run this untill atleast February 2026 due to a slight set back of moving, finding a workspace and not wanting to rush into anything. all funds sit untill the final verdict of being ready to unvail the order of our printer. super excited and grateful for the opportunity but wanting to make sure I do it the right way.
