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.
