Nice!  :sicky:

Despite what Trish and others including Trevor have said I still think Gloss Black would look OK (Similar to this) :whistler:



Hmmm?

Yeah. OK. I agree.

Oh. Wait.

You mean on the car?   :happydance: :happydance: :snigger:

Personally I wouldn't put vinyl wrap on the roof.  If the job is done on the cheap it will make the car look cheap.

I would only do a vinyl wrap if I were driving a rent a wreck, for much the same reasons as Jamie...    :Shocked: :Shocked:

You are probably right. It looks like the only way I can do it on the cheap is to do it myself (which would be dodgy!)  :disapp:

Dazz you want the tinted glass roof.
Vinyl old hat.
Glass new up to date, two tone paint old hat.
Find out if you can get a glass roof or paint sun roof white.

Glass roof would cost 1000's  :Shocked: :Shocked: :Shocked:

Painting or vinyling (is there such a word) the sunroof white might be an option!

I think vinyl would look good, personally.
And it's not permanent so if you get tired of it you can take it off. A bit like pants.
Don't skimp though; get a pro to do it.

OK. I give in.
How did you get the picture of Dazz on to the bonnet?  :undecided:

I'm told he got tired of his pants.....

But wouldn't it cost a lot to turn my car upside down and dip it?

But seriously is that an option? How does it work, I might have to Google!!

Never used it but I have considered it. Sprays from a can and peels off if you don't like it. Colour choice might limit your possibilities.

Thanks, I just did a google. Biggest issue is that not much shine. Can get black like I want but not very glossy or very permanent. Could even use this..
