    I really want it, primarily to cover up a mess I made earlier lol, but it looks really good on the bits that are decent....

    I've never been able to wrap stuff either, slightest curve and it seems to crease!  Even pro car wrappers don't get it perfect though!

    Also be careful if you're doing it inside, mate of mine used cheap vinyl on his dash plastics.  Came back on a sunny day to find it had all fallen off! :laugh:

    I wrapped the roof on my last car, burnt my fingers lol.  Went on perfect but got 1 crease around the aerial.

    No the crease was the good bit, the ends of my fingers on the other hand(on both hands actually) got lots of comments on it when it went round town, shame the rest of the car was naff lol.  This car will be getting treated to the same thing soon, depending on what I feel like doing to it
