    Well, ive had an awful day. Ive spent the day in the garage trying to wrap the Copen. The videos on youtube make it all look so easy. In reality, the first 5 minutes is easy until you get a bubble or a crease. We started with the bonnet which ended up being cut down the middle because of the raise in the bonnet. The roof had to be done twice, but it did look amazing. Then came the boot from hell. I never realised how many angles it had before! Sadly, i lost my temper with it and took all 3 parts off. Ive spent rainy bank holidays in a better way, i'll be honest.

    I think the stuff i had was fairly cheaply made which was probably 80% of my problems so i would recommend spending a bit more on the proper 3m stuff.

    Best of luck to anyone that tries!! Attached is a picture before we got angry with it.

    I've previously recommended 3M DI-NOC for a beginner, the cheap stuff requires way more skill to work with.
