    Roof Wrap

    Very happy with the result. Roof vinyl wrapped to hide the terrible UV damaged roof. It's a 2005 D3 V8 that obviously was left out in the sun a lot by PO.

    The bonnet decal is for the same reason but is also great for minimising late afternoon sun reflection into your eyes. The bonnet decal is from PowerfulUK but the roof wrap is a custom job by Exclusive Wraps in Brisbane. You can still see the roof damage through the vinyl but it’s sooo much better having it covered than seeing the wrecked clear coat and chalky paint.

    The old girl is really starting to come along, also recent;y installed APT sliders with aluminium tread plate and a refurbished steering wheel has arrived (the old one looks and feels very ordinary, again heat related).





    Cheers,
    Scott

    Yeah, it turned out even better than we hoped for.

    Looks great. Not something you would see very often.

    Hmmm, looks interesting. How bad exactly was your roof? I'm thinking of doing the same to my roof as the clear coat is starting to peel up top.

    Terrible. I don’t have a photo but peeled clear coat and chalky texture featured over much of the roof.

    Did they remove more of the clear coat before the wrap went on? For my bonnet decal they clay barred the bonnet before applying to ensure it sticks properly and doesn't show any bumps.

    Still easier than a respray, plus if you get sick of it you can always change the design.

    Are the sliders functional enough to use as side steps?
