Looks ok from a distance!

That looks pretty gloss in vinyl terms though tbh - shame it's not been very well put on. Also with edges that exposed I wouldn't be surprised if it lifts. Would personally have had it wrapped under the roof rails.

They were supposed to do the rails but when I got back they said they couldn't do them. The rails itself is no biggy, can get some and spray them black

Not a fan mate

Maybe if it had been painted but then it still might look a tad out of place. If its vinyl though at least you can rip it off

Well Im going to try and get it to how it is in the PS, if they re-do it properly and I will get the rails painted too, it should look like that

I couldn't give a toss if the rails were black or not

What I meant by that is that they should have done it so the vinyl finished underneath the roof rails - that way there wouldn't be exposed sides so the vinyl wouldn't lift so easily!

yellow edge wastes it

looks like the roof wasnt clean enough when done either

id get a cupra front bumper for it rather than waste money on a black roof personally

That would cost over £300 and I dont want a cupra-lookalike

For anyone thats had vinyl before, they said the bubbles and marks should go down

Is this true or BS?

Its like tints iirc - it will dry out and form to the shape its applied to. The bubbles would need to be very minor in the first place though.

imo that looks like a pisspoor finish. I would have expected them to take it to the very edges and lift the front window rubbers so it appears seamless etc...

Just been up to see them and they are going to re-do it on monday. I said to them about doing it right down to the window rubber and they said they cant do that due to when the rubber expands it pushes the vinyl up

???

Mate spotted this edge before which I hadn't noticed!

and some more bubbles!!!
