Bruce I found an installer for you in NZ
She can teach you

Just one caution, gloss black wrap is really cheap looking, cause it is plastic sticker after all. Consider carbon fiber.
Also the gloss black is very hard to take care of

haha, yes you have to love a good man bun and those kiwi's could always teach us aussies some lessons in class and speech! But I think I'll stick to the gloss black which matches the black pack and also the wrap I put on the skirts. CF is certainly easier to work with though, it is a lot more forgiving putting it on and maintaining it, if I had CF bits where I have the black ones it would be a no-brainer.

@Bruce.
I think it looks great. You did a good job, most of the wrap looks smooth exept for the rear section with the joints. In reality the artists cut it on the car, if there isn'tn a pre-cut piece.

I honed a bit at your line as it now has a step in it on the rear end of the window. This you don't see at all working on it, you have to be meters away. But I think the pro's will also
suggest a line that complements the excisting lines. But the idea is fantastic. Sadly I don't have a glass roof and making these parts black with my car looks silly when its Ultra blue..

Cheers thanks - yes I've peeled it off but I know now how I'd want it and it would be pretty much as you have it.

I might look to get it done over the next couple of weeks, even my missus liked it.

@Q&C.
Lovely girl, makes it look dead easy... .. but I don't have the angel patience she has. Makes me think of wallpapering our first home, together with my wife.
If you can do chores like that without falling out or loosing patience, you can be pritty sure a relationship works too..

@Bruce.
I thought of a second line, which I attempted to fill out with my primitive means.. I think its too agressive though and throws it back to looking like a Batmobile..
The first line is the best..



But my son just told me its great as then it looks like a Ferrari 599 XX..

I fully recognize that nobody asked me, but I don’t particularly like the look on the F-Type, Aston or Ferrari. To each his own, but that’s why they offer menus in restaurants.

@Unhingd.
Things started with the DB11. Bruce envisaged a 'look' on his car... .. and we all just hand on some spices to try.. .. he makes his own recipy..

Dan,
Thats all it is, a test of confidence.
She is smart to let the boy with the manbun only be a observer, he will forever have to take instructions from her on everything in life.

Yeah I wasnt a fan when I first saw it but it has grown on me. And while you cant un-eat food you get at restaurants, this wrap you could remove in 5 minutes when you feel like changing back.

Bruce, the old Romans had banquets that lasted for days. If they were too full they'd just put a finger in their throats and throw up...
So you can 'un-eat' if you're quick...

That’s the first time I’ve heard that one. Hopefully, the last time too.

oh it is all very poetic...
"you can unfriend me on facebook;
you can unfollow me on twitter;
you can unsubscribe from my instagram;
but you can never unlick my butthole"

Poetry aside, I am now on a mission to have the wrap done, I'll post pics in due course...

My car is half way through its mid-life (crisis) refresh. Waiting on Vorsteiners which ended up travelling to more of Australia than I have seen, but should arrive any day. Here is a quick pic of its new wrap job
