Looks like a top job. How did they go about doing the roof rails? Any visible joins?
Thanks , no joins on rails , lifetime warranty On fading or cracking

Thats interesting. Did they remove them to wrap or were they done on the car? May i ask where you got this done?

Iv enquired at a few places local to me and they dont seem to want to touch the roof bars.

Any one recommend anywhere in the West Mids / Shropshire area for this?

Keep an eye out for the black roof bars on eBay. I managed to pick some up for £35. It takes a few hours to swap them over though.
Just the window trim & grill to wrap then...

Looks really good!

Out of interest how does the optics wrap stand upto being washed etc, do you have to go easy on it with a pressure washer for example?

Thinking of getting my misano a avant done.

Where did you get this done mate? Pm me if you prefer. No one local to me seems to want my money so guess I'll have to travel. Or get 300 quids worth of beer and get the marker pens out. :drink:

Did they do it about three weeks ago and have you got a crazy alarm that starts going off as soon as you go near the car by any chance?

Haha I popped in to see if they could do some wiring for me. As I'm obviously an RS fan I had to take a look and the alarm went crazy. Sorry buddy :lol:

They also wrapped my grille, window trim and roof rails on my Mugello Avant. Roof rails were tricky and could have done with coming off to be as neat as possible really. They are quite a good outfit though and any problems they will always rectify.
