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,

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...........?

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?

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. :roll:
