    Did this job a while ago, keep forgetting to post it.
    It was our 1st wrap after being on the wrapping course.

    Just in case you cannot make out what is on the roof, it is a high res photo of flowers with the customers logo in opposing corners called "Garden Angels"

    Thanks for your comments both of you ladies.
    To be honest it was our 1st attempt & we only wrapped it in stages in other words in between jobs, so it probably took us 2 days instead of one. The part that was the hardest to do neatly was the door mirrors. We took out the glass but still found them very difficult to finish them off neatly. i think we did one of them twice to get it right.

    Far better equipped in our minds on actually doing the job after doing the 3 day course Rob, just need to hurry up a bit which will come with more practise.
    Always use Graphywrap system, never let me down as yet.

    Lynn: The car was or is a silver grey.

    Dave: istock.com or customer supplied artwork. .This "frozen" pic is on istock.

    Dave: thought i had seen the idea somewhere 😳

    Richard: Yes, i find it wont stick permanently to rubber (or not for long) so i remove them where possible.

    nik, pulling apart is not a big problem, and putting back is just as easy, nowadays most trim is made for a machine or low memory cell workers to put together, The secret is the secret, once you know its dead easy.
    Look for one or two screws, usually hidden under pop off caps. window rubbers just pull out and pop back in, Try it on your own car, you will soon get the idea.
