Ive tried 2 different ones off ebay and both were crap and ended up in the bin. So avoid cheapish ebay stuff.

As above avoid the cheap ebay stuff it's so s**t! I got some decent vinyl from a local audio/tint/vinyl place. Was like £9 but it went on straight and easy which made it worth it!

Cheap ebay shite bubbles and not straight:

Decent stuff, no bubbles easy to apply:

Sorry I don't know the brand of the decent stuff!

I bought this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SPECIAL-O...381?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c371722b5

It looks like so

Quality seems really good and fitment was easy, the key is lots of water so it doesn't stick while you're positioning it.

I have one from a local window tinting company, it's fitted on the inside it's a dark tint (not limo) so could go darker cost about £15 fitted.

get a cast vinyl. Easier to contour and to apply. Can also use heat on it without it losing shape.

Local sign/printing company see if they can do anything for me

Got mine off eBay for £3 its perfect, bubbling can be down to not preparing the surfice properly or just being a tard. Whats the point in spending any more than a couple of quid on a stip of vinyl.

Don't understand the problems people have had with the ebay ones. Fitted three now and had no problems at all with them.
Just fit it using lots of window cleaner to make it easy to push the bubbles out. The CS ice scraper is rather good for this.

Probably fitting it to the outside of the car with dead flies and washer fluid all over it. I don't get it either, should be easy, I dread to watch some people apply the glass screen protection to their phones xD
