    Gloss Black roof wrap on 04 VBP EP3

    So I 've been posting the wraps I've been doing on other cars on here just to show what you guys can do with wrap and I thought it was time to try something on my EP so here it is. Love it, hate it, whatever.

    As always I like to show progression through a project so here ya go.

    Pulled the weather strips off and washed the roof. Then opened up the sunroof and cleaned inside as well as I could.



    I dropped the headliner and Pulled out the antenna. Broke a few plastic clips on the c-pillar so I'll be ordering some new ones. lol.


    Another angle




    A little ephatch love


    In process



    All done





    The vinyl used was Hexis Gloss black from Auto Vinyl Solutions.
    Let me know what you guys think. Thanks for looking.

    I was gonna wrap that part but there are 2 dimples right in the middle that need to get fixed before I do anything to it.

    Thanks by the way.

    Maybe I should plan a wrap weekend with a bunch of EP's and fly out there. lol.

    It looks good.
    If I may add a suggestion? Do the 2 outer edges on the hood as well. By that I meen (mean? Hmm damn English...anyway) the sections of the hood next to the headlights. Leave the center section blue.

    Surprised you took the headliner off. Why not just cut a hole around it when you were wrapping?

    Honestly it was less of a headache for me to drop the headliner. The first time I tried doing it, I tried cutting a hole and it ended up being real bad. Lol.

    one of my friends just got his 745i's roof wrapped for $460. seems like a lot to me but i guess it included his front grill painted, the door moldings painted, and i believe his antenna.
