 :grin: Nice one....

Maybe I should wrap that Quattro bonnet of mine... I think it would be too fiddly though.  :undecided:

if its flat surfaces it should be fine, its stretching around edges which is the tough part. it would need a massive piece of vinyl though, i imagine it would cost ya!

True, I might price it up.... sick of painting stuff and think it would suit this bonnet.
