Cost's vary massively depending on who does it and the material they use, but for a decent job it will be 1k upwards.

Thanks Steve! Didn't think everyone would like it as it is a bit marmite (as you say) but it looks 100x better in the flesh!

Saying all that I'd try and talk anyone out of doing it as it's a nightmare to keep clean and people just want to touch it!! Wouldn't normally be a bad thing but you can see EVERY finger print!!  :angry:

Greenhouse, looks amazing mate!

To what extent did they go to when fitting, lights out and door shuts, or just cut and folded rounded the edges?

I love the vinyl look but just wondered how it looks around door shuts and boot shuts?

10 put of 10 from me!!  :smiley:
