Just been lookin at your old thread couldnt find any with the black roof:( Who has your ibiza now does it stil look as good.

I got told viyl gets swirl marks when they put it on did you go for gloss black or matt black.

It was gloss black, looked awesome, wasn't on for ages however!

No swirl marks, just glue to get rid of once it was pulled off!

Get someone else to do it or do it yourself I am sure people on here can give you tips. I personally wouldn't want someone to do it that was trying to avoid the job they might make a bad job of it. As I said Jimski put some on his roof in the summer, think his friend helped he can tell you how to do it and where he got it from.

Gloss black vinyl, if applied correctly will end up with swirl marks.

It will get marked going on, but normal sign writers vinyl (as used by most companies) can't be polished but proper automotive stuff can be, if your gentle.

You will not be disappointed mate. Get it on the stiffest setting too.... Do you think your clamps might be a bit close together? I have mine just beyond the bend.

I was thinking about refurbing mine yellow soon (along with brake calipers)
