Went for a drive in a Mark 7 Golf R Estate today!

I will probably get the mirrors carbon wrapped and even toying with the idea of having the roof wrapped in gloss black a bit like the performance R! 

Black mirrors going on mine at the weekend and also going for a gloss black roof wrap 

That will look fantastic  Post some pictures up when you get it done

First of all Congratulations on your purchase Sam, very nice spec...

Thanks Mr GTD 

@ Raffe - Out of interest (if you don't mind me asking) how much is the wrap costing you...?

I got a quote but I only need half of the roof wrapped due to the Panroof which was £140.

I'm getting my mirrors carbon dipped, should look good against the night blue.

Carbon dipped, thats new to me! Again, would look really cool and post some pictures up when you've got it done

I've never seen that before, but reading their stuff its basically a decal sheet applied to the item and then lacquered over the top to seal it.

Not sure thats any better or worse than just "old fashioned" wrapping.

I did like their options list - the sandstone finish was quite nice or maybe a nice polished granite...

BTW I did find this thread that talks about wrapping vs "dipping" and some of the problems...
