Default My New Lush Roof Graphics

Not sure if you've all seen the post about my roof graphics getting ruin by the rain & snow but I was at Mini Pirate yesterday getting them replaced so here's the pics. Pics aren't brilliant as taken with my camera phone rather then a digital camera.

Phil did an amazing job and a proper top bloke... can't believe that he does it all by himself!!!

Here's the damaged pics:




And now the work involved getting the old rubbish off and the lush new vinyl's fitted.

Getting the old vinyl off:






Giving the roof a good old clean to get the old glue, etc off:


Masking out the positions for the new graphics:




First sections going on:




A few more sections:




Starting to take shape now:


All finished:

Looks goooooooooooood - much better going to the edges than the huge gap MINI leave. They will be much much better than your original MINI ones.

Cheers mate. Oh yeah I have to agree about the huge gap that Mini leave, makes such a difference going nearly to the edge.

I'm so impressed and gives the car a nice fresh look
