I ordered the kit last week just waiting for it to arrive so was thinking of booking it in for perfection. For £100 I would rather do it myself though lol

no problem, look or my thread on this, I reckon it took me the best part of a day to get it correct..patience is the key, the stuff is playable and wont tear, if not happy take it off and start again but make sure you use lots and I mean LOTS of soapy water until 100% happy with placement and that it will go down clean without any kinks

 

ive a couple of picture somewhere of all the stuff I used as prep and during,...get a spray bottle of soapy stuff as well to keep it wet... and a hair dryer to smooth it out and get rid of surpless water when happy

It's so easy. I'm not struggling at all. I don't know if it's my previous (very little) vinyl wrap experience or what. In the time I lay replied I have done the front lower clam both sides and wing mirrors. No bubbles or anything. Just the 2 side clam parts to do and bonnet protector and job done

As others have noted, the bonnet is the toughest part and will need some extra heat and minimal stretching. Let us know how you get on
