Been on ebay to have a look and there are plenty of sizes of wraps. In order for me to complete the 4 grab handles inside the car how much do you think I will need?

30*30cm
12"*12"
30*20cm
12"*8"

theres loads!!!  :huh:

Yeh, Its literally as much as you think will cover the area. Although it stretches abit I wouldnt put that in your calculation.

4 grab handles I would get 2 x a4 size

Yep, if its not to expensive get 3 sheets!

The 3m carbon fibre stuff I used was very forgiving and once reheated it would move anywhere. Not sure if the alu stuff is the same.

the 3m stuff is forgiving but you dont want to overheat or over stretch as it then loses the design a bit..
