before you fit them make sure there is enough to lap over as graphics i got from him came up well short and couldnt fit them ,i would get a company to fit them there is a guy in benfleet who does vehicle wrapping ....so he must be good

Nice one, is it a full roof vinyl Sleety?

When Phil @ Mini Pirate did my black jack roof it took him a good couple of hours as he had to measure the roof, mark off where each part was going to be, lay down the vinyl and make sure there were no bubbles.

You will need to use lots of water in a spray bottle to keep the area wet & allow the vinyl to move around to get it into the correct position.

Defo not a 1 man job unless you're experienced in down vinyls.









All I can say is take your time mate
