Roof Wrap - Done & Now with TINTS :)

[kerrbryan]

Might well protect the paint. I would be a bit worried about the uv on the rest of the paint. Might you not end up with a paint mismatch when you peel it off.

I would think in the Scottish heat that would take a good number of years, and in my case I will change in 2.5 -3 years anyway so not worried. Also I plan on keeping it on anyway.

 

Possibly reds or blues and brighter paints this may be quicker to notice also.

 

Plus as someone else said, a clear one would be good for bumpers (on combi's) and front bonnets/bumpers/wings to protect against stone chips and scratches.

 

I know someone who wanted a white BMW Coupe but they were 2k+ dearer than other colours (Used cars) due to everyone wanting white, so he bought a silver one and wrapped it white for £700.

The wrap is a really nice look when combined with the black pack. I'm seriously considering this for my candy white hatch (financial controller permitting of course).

It looks great! I have been waiting for my steel battleship and thinking about wrapping the roof as well, but not sure if I'll go with the whole roof or 2/3 as pano roof is... What do you think?

[Tdernux]

Can you please upload more pictures?

[mdk1]

Liking that a lot.

[Juanito5]

Like this a lot, great finish!

[kerrbryan]

Can you please upload more pictures?

Will get some more when i get a chance to give it a wash etc

[Tdernux]

Great thanks!

[Tdernux]

Can you please upload some pictures of your cool looking car with wrapped roof? I'm really thinking about to do the same, but not sure if I should go with the whole roof or 2/3 like pano roof is. Any ideas?

[loskie]

Maybe I am being pedantic but if you wrapped your car and changed the colour would you have to notify the DVLA? Would it not arouse suspicions of the polis when description did not match ANPR details?

[Squirrelz]

If there is a substantial colour change, yes you have to notify DVLA. Just the roof, no you don't.

[paddy wagon]

Not a permanent colour change so no requirement to inform dvla.

Sorry not had a chance to take some new pics yet. Will try and do soon though.

I think the 2/3 look wont give you a goo finish in terms of your going to have a lip where the vinyl stops across the roof, so full area is only option imo

Looks great

Have to agree and as my C250 is a mix of white with black bits, black wheels and tints I'm thinking of a black roof wrap for it too.

[Tinksy]

I'm also looking to wrap my roof gloss black.  Would like to get the chrome on the grille wrapped too.  How hard is that to do?

Easy if watching experts do it

Certainly a few levels up from wall papering

haha not something I'll be trying myself.  Looks too fiddly

[Defenderben]

Looks nice.

I looked into this on mine and to do the roof, b pillars & grille was £200.

This was with a 3M product with I think he said 5 year warranty on not fading etc.

Not sure how that compares?

[tuonopepper]

I've just been quoted £100 to do the roof of my 250 (with sunroof to negotiate) in 3m gloss black so probably seems about right.

Looks good, I'm thinking of having my Race Blue Elegance Estate done once I get it (probably end of April), but not sure of what to have on it, satin black to match the roof rails, or carbon fibre. Any votes/suggestions?

[sinima]

Do you mind me asking the cost as thinking my candy white combination needs the same

Material cost is about £40-50 then the labour for the fitter. Takes about 45mins to an hour.

[Pabs]

What do they do with the edge of the material once installed? Front and back of the roof I understand is wrapped around by the window, but what about the sides? Is it possible for water to get underneath, or even catch the edge with a fingernail and potentially damage the wrap?

[Squirrelz]

I'm wondering whether it would look better with the spoiler left uncovered, looks a bit weird in black to my eyes.

 

Love the rest of it though.

Spoiler isn't done on mine for that reason, overkill
