Mmmmm get a good quality wrap the link to the guy I used is on the 2nd page and it takes more heat to manipulate it so don't be scared and if you get any fold marks or anything like that don't panic its very forgiving and I used a tailors chalk to mark out the lines so it was perfect when cut and I would deffinetly use adesion prom 3m supply it ..... As it happens tho iv had a change of mind with mine because I'm wanting gloss now so I'm looking for a swap and 40 pound for the wrap used because I don't want to ruin the wrap thers nothing wrong with it Last edited by BioCustoms on Fri May 18, 2012 5:06 am; edited 1 time in total

I'd use it on all eges specialy edges that form a 90 degree bend and yes leave it around 20 to 15mm longer its prefrence really to how long you want to leave it just don't have it any leass then 10mm bud
#113: Re: 1.4 lx ...START OF THE BOOTBUILD :) Author: BioCustoms, Location: LeedsPosted: Tue Jun 05, 2012 3:37 pm ---- right guys had a little break from the car as iv been super busy with work but getting back on track now .. had some massive change of minds lately .......
to start with i wrapped the top of the tailgate
then i decided that i hated the wrap so iv stripped the wrap and gone on to gloss blacking it all..
flatted the tailgate and glossed the roof ..
bought some wide arched pretty good nick just needed a flat and a recolour all rubbers and clips ...
got my hands on this gti spoiler also pretty good condition sanded down and re glossed looks pretty smart
stripped the wrap off the bonnet goinf to weld the gap up and do something the the pollen filter vent might convert it in to a a box vent??
also got fed up with the grill i was fabricating so i bought this bad egg
i got the rest of my interior back today and it looks ace started buy putting the handbreak and gear stick surround back in...

That flocked dash is lovely, Got mine done recently but the 206 dash is all curvy and looks much better than mine. Keep some masking tape in the car, easiest way I've found to get it looking clean when i gets dusty etc.

Well after stripping the whole interior out I feel quiet confident with it all, so if you need any advice don't hesitate to ask bud

Ye mate masking tape.. but I use a lint roller more or less the same sort of idea instead it rolls over it instead of pulling at the fibres pic them up for like 3 for a quid in the pound shop plus they have a handle what car dash have you had flocked bud?
