Just with the fact you've got to do the majority of that on the car in a more awkward area. Ever thought about doing the roof black?

Guy I used to work with drove a Series II over 60 miles every day. Thought he was mad then, now he's doing it in a Series I.

Finished the other bits now. My tdi decals turned up but they're silver and I ordered black. However I think they look OK in a subtle way

What you think

You wrapped all that yourself Steve? Looks pretty impressive, fair play.

Looks great. There's one local to me in a very similar colour but with rear windows. Looks stunning.

Wrap looks good, I take it you've done it correct so you won't be getting any bubbles coming back where the angles are? Can't wait to see it all finished. Watch out for stretching it too much around the edges as when the sun comes out it'll wrinkle it all up but I'm sure you've read about all the do's and dont's
