    Here's the tinted headlight film



    And here is a comparison of linted versus stock



    They have a brown tint in some lighting/angles - really don't like that

    I found this much more difficult than applying the carbon wrap
    The left headlight turned out to be a bit of a schocker
    I reckon I'll pull this off before the end of the week

    Finnally got a decent photo of the carbon wrapped roof rack

    Latest effort - Looks ok from a few meters away but not a great job, will do it again later

    Looks nice .... very neat ....

    can i ask ... when you did the interior, especially the center console and any other trim ie the strips along the interior aspect of the doors etc ... do you do it in situ or do you have to remove all the trim first to do it ...

    and what would a "professional" vinyl wrapper/trimmer charge to do the interior of a car ... just a ball park figure? ...

    i sent an enquiry to 3 separate guys who were advertising on gumtree over a week ago ... none have replied as yet ... i don't understand why they bother to pay for advertising if they don't respond to inquiries

    and finally, is it possible to get that stuff in a black satin finish ... or something close to the vw "piano black" trim ... do all of the sheets have that typical carbon fiber "weave" pattern? ... is it not possible to get it in a "flat' or plain black color?
