If your going to do it, i'd vote do it properly mate, eventually you wont be happy with the wrap as mirrors tend to get struck by branches/brambles/bushes etc, so prone to rip, tear etc.

Hi there,
I've had both mirrors and rear spoiler wrapped for nearly a year now and no issues what so ever.
No scratches of bubbles at all. I'd imagin if I were to get too close to a hedge then scratches would appear on the mirrors but at the moment no issues. Think for both mirrors and spoilers it was £150 I'd have to check. I've got some pics of my car on here already from previous posts. Got a new phone so no pics to upload ATM will take some more if you want to see?
