If you've ever applied large self-adhesive decals or tried tinting your windows with film or similar, think about how that went.

If it went smoothly (in all senses of the word) then maybe give it a go. If it didn't and you ended up with some scrap material, imagine how you'd feel if that was £250 worth of scrap material!

Disclaimer - she can be a potty-mouth at times!

Also something else to bear in mind - if the bodywork isn't absolutely glass-smooth, it WILL show up under the film
Wonderful video Dave: what a dizzy bird (I never understand why blond girls dye their eyebrows dark)... but brilliant. That puts wrapping in perspective: Gus and Will made it look much easier (and the outcome much better) than it really is.

I'm back in reality now - the RB looks fine the way it is :-)
