Decided not to go yellow in the end, started a gulf style livery.
That is amazing! I was tempted after following Yiannimise but I would probably do something silly like mirror effect. Canât wait to see your end result.

Iâve done a few little bits of wrapping but nothing that big. Respect!
Wow! Thatâs a big step up from the camo stickers! how are you finding wrapping? I âpaidâ for my previous NC wrap, good that it was, itâs not an inexpensive job. Not something Iâd want to tackle myself TBH, so well done for taking the job on

looks good - is that generic e-bay wrap or something specific?
whenever i try shapes like that it goes thin and kinda see thru as i stretch it into the recesses
When I had mine done
All the recessed areas had a strip put in on the actual recess then the main body of the wrap overlaid this strip. Amazing and very very hard to see how it was done? This avoided over stretching the vinyl itself. It was a very good premium Avery Denison wrap though.

Hi. Cheap and cheerful wrap KPMF is the brand uk/us company. ÂŁ200 for the wrap and heat gun.
Itâs not great, up close. But itâs my first real play. Iâll get it all done then later in the year might redo a couple of panels.
Iâm learning as I go along.
As above the rear bumper for instance infilled the number plate bit first then went over it again.
Itâs not a show car, itâs just a fun car and the red was all faded in places, so itâs more just me playing
If you stared at it up close In detail , youâd go ohh that bit is a bit â â â â , that area is not bad etc⌠but, for a first effort Iâm over the moon so far.
its certainly easier than it looksâŚa wee pic of some carbon wraps on my bike that i also had to do with âinsert patchesâ in certain places. I have done some PPF as well and using pre-cut kits is ok. But this big intricate panelsâŚ
I fancy a carbon rood wrap on mine, but dunno if i could manage
looking forward to seeing yours finished
Did a wing after work today.
Hopefully I can do the other wing one evening this week, and then the rear bumper can also go back on.
Other rear wing done.
Online workshop guides are wonderful showing how to remove parts, getting the aerial off was quite easy.
Whatâs left is the two doors. The fun bit will be removing the door handles and wing mirrors to do them.
The door handles in orange, cannot decide between orange or just black to match the windscreen surround for the wing mirrrors.
iâd say black mirrors
Coming along great! Iâd go orange on the mirrors and handles to continue the theme? Just an opinion and itâs your car at the end of the day it takes some big kahunaâs to take on a job this size (stuff like this can be quite daunting) so again, well done. Youâre on the home stretch now! The door handle cups were one of the areas on mine that were wrapped with a separate piece? Avoided over stretching of the material.

Nothing that a hoover wouldnât fixđ¤Ł
Hi.
Phewwwwww. Could be a lot better and Iâd expect better if I paid someone ÂŁ1,000 plus, my ÂŁ225 diy job is better then the dodgy true red that was fading and had been touched up.
I tell you what, I think youâve done a great job there! And for the cost, whatâs not to like? The door handles and mirrors, both not an easy thing to wrap I reckon, look great! Obviously a lot of work gone in to this, so well done for a job well done!
Barrie
Agreed, that looks great. More skill than me doing it thatâs for sure. Mine looked like a wet shower curtain when it gets stuck to the back of your leg & that was only the glovebox lid!!!
