#1: Wrapped roof Author: RoweY, Location: MiddlesbroughPosted: Sat Apr 13, 2013 6:26 am ---- I'm thinking of wrapping my silver 206's roof black but unsure if it will look tacky, any opinions ? looking to wrap bonnet as well in the future.

#3: Re: Wrapped roof Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Sat Apr 13, 2013 7:02 am ---- I am also interested in this. I have a silver 206. If you do it put some pics up so I can see what it looks like.
Thanks

#17: Re: Wrapped roof Author: kobrakai1986, Location: Caerphilly/Hengoed/Ystrad MynachPosted: Sun May 05, 2013 4:32 am ---- I'm going to start this project today or tomorrow as the sun is making a scarce appearance and its actually dry.. I've wrapped a few things in the past but nothing this size. Ok its a fairly flat surface but would it be easier to start in a corner and work my way across diagonally? I'm thinking this would be easier to avoid bubbles? Any tips would be greatly appreciated
#18: Re: Wrapped roof Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Sun May 05, 2013 10:58 am ---- Start in the middle. Remove one side of the backing. Then work with squeegee and heat gun from middle to one side. A second person to help is a good idea. Then start again from the middle on the other side. Finally very sharp knife with next to no pressure on the blade when cutting. Long thin craft blade is best.
#19: Re: Wrapped roof Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Sun May 05, 2013 3:17 pm ---- You shouldn't need a heat gun what did was to rremove the gutterstrips and put a piece of tape over the middle of the car on top of the film before taking the backing off tend worked middle back completely then middle front
hide the cut in the gutter and down by the boot gap the front tuck under the rrubber for the windscreen
Little tip don't cut the hole for the aerial to begin with as i regret not removing it and just going over the hole with the wrap

I think its a GT in general, it has a badge on the door pillar.
