Got my car back from getting the roof wrapped gloss black and the front end and a few other bits PPF'd in Xpel Self-Healing Film.

Too dark for pics?!

There you go! Breakdown of the wrap - Half roof to tie into the sunroof, then Xpel Self-healing Wrap on Boot Lip, Gloss Black B Pillars on the doors, Full front arches, Bonnet and front bumper. Since most of it is clear and the installer did a fantastic job doing it, you'll just have to take my word that the clear stuff is there  :grin:

Looks good. Did you have any paint correction prior to fitting. Can you share who you used? I am interested in having some work done to mine, front end and B pillars. I am in County Down. Thanks.

Yeah I had paint correction done prior to install, means you have a deeper shine. I'm County Antrim so I used Darren and Complete Car Care Company in Lisburn I'd highly recommend him.

Agree, looks really nice, wouldn't know about the clear stuff lol

Ceefeesh, you might see me later in the summer around Co. Down  :wink: I'll be on the coastal road most of the time anywhere from Newry to Newcastle and beyond, maybe a trip up the mountain to Spelga  :grin: Give me a flash if you see me, you won't miss my car lol

A beautiful part of the country, around the Mourne mountains. The coast road between Kilkeel and Newcastle is stunning. If you need any recommendations on places to see, eat (if they're open) or good roads to drive let me know by DM.

Finally received my puddle lights after ordering them at the end of January, post office quality in SA took their time processing international shipments  :undecided:

Such a simple and easy install when you manage to locate the door panel clips and the best part is no noises or rattles after doing the install which is always a win.
