Interesting color combo, looks good and definitely stands out.
Did you wrap the wheels also ?

Yep , cut a template then cut the wrap. All in all about £50 of material including a fair few mistakes

Could you post some pics of the wheels, I am thinking of trying something unique on my BC forged wheels and have been looking at various ways to add wraps to wheels.
Thanks

Awesome, thanks for posting. I am told with a little extra care, the wraps will hold up well, what’s your experience, any pealing problems ?

They should be good for a few years depending upon how much you use the car, weather conditions and if it is garages etc. I have been learning, totally self taught. Thoroughly clean the area with isoproalchol and use a reasonable pressure when applying the wrap
i had to redo a couple of areas where I did not get it right but once done wraps hold up well and they have been washed many times now. Also applied ceramic coat to parts and polish and they come up really well.
good luck and post some pics when your done will be interested to see the results

Thanks, will do. Going to be a winter project, weather is too nice right now to be pulling the car apart.

Very nice on the self-wrap bits. I can do easier things like flat surfaces but would not trust myself to be effective on large panels. Since I was going for a color change, I went with the professionals. The shop said the hood in particular with the Inozetek brand wrap (low stretch) was a 4-person job, as it is a huge single piece to put down at once.

By the way, here is the door jamb - my car was Ultimate Black so this turned out to be a perfect transition with the plastic sill material, IMO.
