From what I've seen, its better than paint for stone chips. We'll see how it goes.

True, but it is quite thin!

Take off the wrap one day which appears fine but there are more chips on the paint than what you started with!  :grin:

I was thinking more of it ripping, I mean if a stone hit a stretched area then maybe the vinyl would kinda open up?

Filth, just always filth.  :grin:

Looks great. 

How much will the material used in the wrap weigh, in total?
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Cheers bud :)

That is a good question! Probably the weight of the interior card for the boot? Good job I removed it!

I think the vinyl will be fine for stone chips, the vinyl is good quality stuff and if you crease it, screw it up, etc it doesn't cause damage, any imperfections like that can be heated out.


All the wrapping is done now!

Picked up a genuine deep front spoiler today and lower bumper inserts to finish off the front bumper. Will be doing the finishing touches tomorrow, including freshening up the borbets and bit of interior work and obviously get front bumper together and on with number plate.

I think it look amazing and a fresh approach to modifying on a budget.

Any chance of a weight in recognised units rather than things?  :grin:
