Vinyl Wrap

[TarkMalbot]

I am wanting to wrap my roof and bonnet but am away from home for another week. I was looking at getting the vinyl ordered ready to do the job so was wondering if anyone knew the length and width of the bonnet and roof?

Thanks.

Wrapping vinyl usually comes on 1500mm wide rolls or there about.

I think the bonnet is 900mm from memory and the roof say 2000mm.

So 3-4 metres should do you.

sizes not far off, looked at that when I put the roof sticker kit on:
Tight sizes....
Centre of roof from windscreen rubber to end of roof 1560 long, approx 1000 wide.

Centre of bonnet, giving enough for outer peaks 970mm, approx 1350 wide

Nice stuff to use that!

How much is the wrap costing?

No idea what its costing. As its free.

I would expect the car to need around 20M* Which at their prices is around £200 in Wrap. Plus labour

this is the colour im having:

Mdp wrap ftw

Thanks for the advice guys. I am thinking of doing the roof and bonnet white. I currently have a non matching bonnet but am getting a fibreglass one so am thinking it will be cheapest and easiest to wrap that. I want to do the roof as I will be removing the aerial, fibre-glassing the hole from the inside and then filling from the outside. I have white wheels too.

Nice plan. Roof and bonnet easiest.
I did some wrapping myself and I found those two easy used about 10m wrap as Imade mistakes.

Do a Clio with 15-17m easy :wink:

Well yea, but you need to account for mistakes. And an extra 30 quid is worth the extra wrap.
plus if any needs redoing later it's helpful to have spare.

not that it apply to the OP as he just wants to do bonnet and roof

The only thing I am struggling with is the colour. Can't decide between black or white and then there is a few options such as matte or gloss or 3d etc. plus unsure what would go best with white wheels and black front splitter.

Gloss only works in black or white IMO.

Keep colour wraps matt.

I always thought Matt wrap would show up everything like finger prints, dirt, water marks? Is this not the case?

Water marks and fingerprints don't show on either of you keep cleaning it properly.
