Cool, cant wait to see this done. where are you based and what would you charge?

The indicator surrounds can be removed, pop the bonnet and i believe they twist from the inside to get them out/

I sometimes help my mate in his business and the Avery is well worth the extra ££££'s

Playing about with a few brands at the min I will get a few metres of avery and see how it wraps

Under the mirror is a small torx bit to remove the black plastic cover, remove that, then there is a large black circular clip. using a screw driver you can twist it about 10mm and the glass will fall out.

Had a play with a few vinyls today and had a small sample of the colour it's going, hard to see the blue coming through but it gives a idea

The Avery goes down a treat compared to some of the cheaper one's which can be a nightmare to work with.

not a big fan of the Maldives blue on mine so have been considering getting my Zed done in Estoril blue.

Undecided on whether to have a full respray or a wrap ... any ideas on the longevity of a vinyl wrap?
