My mate has just done his himself using a tutorial off YouTube, a DeWalt heat gun and the ability to laugh at himself if it went wrong......first attempt was ok but far from perfect, he used the leftovers to do mirrors etc and learned more in process, ordered some more material and got it perfect the nex time. Looks good too.

butters if you could let me know what kinda price that would be good cheers

and la21t, do you know where he got his materials? ive been looking online, and for enough to cover my bonnet its gonna be like £230 odd quid, and i could probably get an actual carbon fibre bonnet second hand for that lol

I'll ask him.

He did his because his bonnet catch let go, bent bonnet, cracked the screen and dented roof. He sourced a fibreglass bonnet that was 3 diff colours, rather than spraying it, he covered it
 
The 3M stuff is good quality vinyl, but doesnt look real. I did get some vinyl that looked real but was no good for external use or for anything other than completely flat surfaces.

it looks s**t though? save for the real thing or be happy with what you got...

my bonnets fucked, if i had it re sprayed it would make the rest of the car look gash cus the paint would be fresh and the rest would be faded

i cant find anywhere remotely cheap to buy the vinyl though, to get it myself is almost the price of properly having it done :/

One of the best in the business is Prestige Wrap, based in London.
His own cars are awesome and had a good chat with Shane a while back about doing my focus in a satin grey colour.
Luckily he lives local to me tho so he would have just collected it.

His ML has been done with an aggressive look, flipping awesome when done correctly :)


As for 3M not being guaranteed outside, that's poppycock, how does the new RS500 focus get away with being sold directly from ford in a 3M satin black wrap :p
