and no i dont mean caving someones in while singin to p-diddy, lol!

i mean that vniyl/3m wrap? who does it local? or is it hard to do ur self?

i'm after my roof doing black or carbon!?!? had quotes of 60 quid all in but its a trek so would prefer local! anybody feeling upto the job if u've got the skills?

i would try a "sign" making company

ive jst wrapped my interior wooden panelin around the heater controls, stereo and drinks holder in my mk4 golf with black an white checkered vinyl, then still had tons left so have done by battery cover an engine cover, if its the same kinda stuff its a piece a piss m8, i used the missus's hairdryer to do mine, bit of heat an u can do anythin with it, bit of heat u can stretch it, if its stretched to much bit more heat will shrink it again, amazin stuff!! shouldnt b that hard to do the roof m8!!

how do reckon i should approach it, start in the middle n work down the car n then the side or do the midle then sides then front/back!! i can see me having 4 creases where the pillars meet the roof as the roof curves back/front and sise to side....a perfect pain in the arse!! with it being on full view all the time its gonna have to be damn near perfect!!

i should of got the check stuff, but i'll give this ago now init!!

Any links for getting some of this vinyl peeps? Sounds pretty cool! I was put off initially by how easy it was at bubbling etc. Is it pretty tactile / managable?

dunno where u'd get in online mate, just go local with a sign maker/shop!

started to clean up the roof tonight with t-cut to get all the wax etc off ready to be wrapped 2moz....pics to follow!

i might look in to this, how much did you pay?

i payed £20+vat for 2m of 1220mm wide of shiny black!! (£10 per metre) u can get it cheaper its just the first place i tried as it was close to me! but less than £25 to do a wrapped roof......its the bargain of the century!

just hope my skill are as bright as my ideas, lol!

jst thought id put a pic of my roof wrap up on here to show u guys!! thoughts please!!

lookin good mate, well wish i had got the chequred stuff now!! i'll keep the black for ulimate then change to chequers!! so was it easy gettin the crease out over the corners or did they just fall out?

if ur roofs similar to mine - quite flat with a bit of a curve front an back, with the seal of the door quite high, and meetin the windscreen an rear window should be a piece of piss m8, should be lot easier with 1 colour, had to work mine out so it looks even both sides and worked the squares out at the front so they dnt look silly, ive done my engine cover, battery cover an round my stereo an heater controls etc, u wouldnt believe how easy it is 2 work with m8!!

yeah man, dunno if it will stay on in the engine bay though dude but i can see what u mean mate......very more-ish!!

ferkin right its more-ish, got a taste for checkered now, done the engine cover etc jst for shows cuz theres only 3 screwy things holdin them on!! heres a pic of engine cover an heater controls, jst taken them now!!
