Well I've had the car 2 weeks so time for a change -

Roof wrapped black -

That looks great!

Looks great over the red. How much (if you don't mind me asking)?

£140  :love: Took 3 hours, I thought that was pretty good value.

 

I need black door mirrors now.

That does look nice.

 

I saw a F/L the same colour on the A2 (Nr. Canterbury) yesterday and it looked really smart 

That looks great!

+1

 

My favourite combination, and what I would have ordered had Skoda allowed L&K's in red.

Black + Red always has looked a nice contrasting colour.

 

Brochure has - White - Black roof / Petrol Blue- White Roof & Red with White Roof.

 

Unfortunate that the L&K cannot have a different colour roof.

Indeed that looks like £140 well spent!

Maybe something to consider for any L&K owners who hankered after a different roof colour only to be denied it in the options list...

Black + Red always has looked a nice choice

I agree.....GO BOMBERS!

Nice!

Looks well  definitely the best contrast, Black mirrors would also look nice.

I saw one with a white roof and it looked like the Fire Chief's truck  

I had one of those TSI grill badges and modified it to put on the tailgate. It didn't weather well it went all dull grey and crusty  

Pardon my ignorance on the subject but what exactly is a Roof Wrap? is it a re-spray?

Looks very good BTW.

Think Blue Peter and sticky back plastic.

It's vinyl that comes in large sticky sheets, and if it's applied properly, it looks good, it's cheaper than a paint job, and it can be reversed (unlike a paint job).

 

All those matte black and matte white Mercedes/Lamborghini/Nissan GTR's etc that you see around are wrapped, but a whole car costs around GBP2500 for a proper job.  

Brochure has - White - Black roof / Petrol Blue- White Roof & Red with White Roof.

 

 

 

I wonder if i can find the pics. I'd love to see what my Petrol blue yeti would look like with a white roof

I am thinking of having my yet's roof wrapped but have concerns about the damage that can be caused to the paint when cutting the vinyl round the roof rails, aerial etc. I read the post on Briskoda about the nightmare the guy had with the paint on his very expensive GTR. I think his wrap had been done by a reputable detailer so this made me almost ditch the idea all together.

I contacted the company that had been recommended on the thread and they said that it's always best practise to remove the rails. So I then looked into how easy it would be to have the rails removed but it looks like the headlining might have to be removed to do this. I've seen diagrams that suggest you might be able to remove them from the roof. But I would doubt this is the case.

I have contacted companies and they have said its fine and that the vinyl can be carefully cut in. But others who say they wouldn't do the job if they couldn't get the rails off. When I get the car I'm going yo go in and see them and they will evaluate the job.

There is an excellent Scottish lady photographer and Photoshop expert here, but we haven't heard from her lately...........................

Looks good.

 

Do you know if they take the roof rails off to do it, or wrap "around" them ?

I could mock that for you if you can supply me with a good quality picture of your car.

This is a mock I created for my car with roof and mirrors wrapped and the chrome spotlight trim fitted.

I have one on order =

Muddyboots in answer to your question on whether they take the roofrails off when wrapping the roof of the Yeti. There is a thread started by HMI Bennett called Clingfilm car, post 53 says that the installers of his wrapped roof on a L&K Yeti ( note this has a sunroof) did take the roofrails off when applying the wrap.HTH

I have one on order =

That one looks better

 

I had one of these;

Thank you for the offer, but the brochure picture that's been posted is enough to convince me that I don't want it :-)
