its just a vinyl wrap, its what i do for a living
its the 3m di-noc, its not the best material,
but all i had tonight and wanted to do it

So how would this stand up to the intense heat and UV rays through the windshield Bryan?
Its bad enough with the dash shrinking around the A/C vents (appears to be a north american problem not european?)

fine mate, i use it to wrap cars, etc, wont fade etc, and wont shrink unless the panel its on does,

can be used on any parts, but not the best sticking on abs plastic, ie them black plastic bumpers.

only take 15 mins to do,

...And how long for the rest of us !

[tomac1975]

looks good, can you do the same to the centre console?

[bryang]

alittle longer for you guys, but can be done with some patience,

once you have practised on something, im sure it would look ok

[Jackonicko]

Come on Bryan. How much would you charge to do one of these for an owner?

And what else have you thought of wrapping?

You may not have seen the carbon fibre escutcheons that were made, but I always thought that you needed more of a theme - a big item like the binnacle cover is quite a good start. But how about carbon wrapped panels to replace the carpet sections on the doors? Sill covers?

It then makes sense to have a carbon fibre gear knob, handbrake lever, escutcheons, seat back protectors, and...........?

theres all sorts of new vinyl out, ive just got some samples in of

leather effect, crocodile skin, pearl orange, is amazing,

ill have to make a template of the carpet sections and cover them, easy tho to make

Bryan,
Any chance you would consider making these for sale and installation by owner? or are the outline and slots cut once the wrap is done making it pointless?

[bryang]

its put down in one large peice and heated and trimmed to the shape,and slots, then folding the excess over and then trimmed underneath

[Tannerman]

I can't see the photos...."help"

[Enright]

I think that's cos Bryang has removed them (GS did have an appropriate "teddies out of pram" graphic for such an occasion).
Might as well lock the thread.
