Cheers man! Am liking the monochrome kinda look on these cars, was gonna black over the red stripes but think that would ruin the 'gti' tradition!

Cheers man!

Oops my bad  :embarrassed:!
I was originally gonna wrap the red stripes myself but trying to remove them
proved rather difficult and a breakage of some sort was likely!

hurdy cannot get his wrapped as no glue is strong enough to cope with the savagery of his R

Looks great ! Black on white combo gives it a race edge, have you got black alloys?

Whatever you do though don't go for a black bonnet in fear of being taken for a taxi ! We have taxis round here that are white and they seem to have black bonnets and roofs???? Branding I guess.

No just the standard monza shadows fitted  :smiley:

Guy that fitted the wrap put a polish over the top of it which just looked like autoglym srp if my eyes didn't deceive me, the wrap is actually better quality than I thought, just as glossy as my recently sprayed diffuser but I suppose time will tell on how it holds up  :smiley:

Looks amazing. It actually looks in the picture as if you have a panoramic glass roof. Was it expensive to do if you don't mind me asking?

Been thinking about this myself. Can I ask how much it cost? Looks very very nice  :cool:
Title: Re: Roof finally wrapped
Post by: seanule on 28 February 2014, 11:56
It was £120 for anyone interested, that included the little roof bit in front of the spoiler which the guy was reluctant to tackle in the first place haha

I think it might suit sunroofed cars even more so.

Can't see it being a good look tbh, has the potential to look slightly seedy and incredibly tacky.

But why don't you wrap it, post up the pics and then we'll tell you what we think  :grin:
