No you don't have to inform the DVLA as vinyl is only a temporary modification (so all the wrapping sites say!).

Few more pics, getting there slowly!! Just bonnet, bumper and rear roof spoiler to do! Needs to tidy up a few places and sort the edge where the carbon bit above the exhausts join the white but nothing too drastic! Painted the ghastly aluminium around the edge satin black, just got the ones below the windows to do!

That looks great, Are you leaving the mirrors ? How long are you hoping the wrap lasts ? I've heard 3-5 years is a good shelf life?

The mirrors will be done eventually but im running out of time as i'm travelling for a month with work from the middle of next week! 3-5 is teh normal although the vinyl is 8year vinyl. Knowing what i'm like I would've sold it on before then!!

No more pics but the front bumper is now done - an absolute PAIN!! Took 3 hours to do and i'm not 100% happy with it!!!! Just the bonnet left!!

When I get mine it will go to a shop to get done, mirrors too and inside the doors going for white too and will be de-badged apart from the 4 rings on the back.

I am a signwriter by trade so fairly handy with vinyl, hence not having to go to a shop a pay a (huge!) premium!
