Like Hannah says there's a tried and tested company in Stirling that'll assist with your roof quest ... What about getting it painted rather than wrapped ?

I work with someone who had their whole car wrapped and would never do it again ,it turned out a very expensive exercise due to the wrap not lasting (destroyed on the first run down south) a roof may be different,but the front of the roof would be at most risk of damage

^^ like above I'm not a fan either as you said it can be more hassle than it's worth. By the time you pay the cost for getting it done you'd be better paying the extra to get it painted ..

Had my roof painted instead of wrapped. Wasn't that much more expensive.

Can look after paint whereas you've got what you've got with a wrap.

I would look into getting it painted. There's alot of drawbacks to wrapping

We had the roof wrapped on our One. It took 2 attempts until I was happy with it. I was then always paranoid about the edges lifting when power washing. TBH painting would not have been much more expensive.

If you need a painter I can't recommend Elite Paint & Body in Bo'ness highly enough. The only painter I use and recommend to any of my customers be it Focus or 458

Why not give Specialized signs in Edinburgh a visit they have Chili red vinyl, experience wrapping cars (they have a fully wrapped BMW E60 and it's stunning) they also do free quotes and are very very helpful. Be warned though, wrapping isn't as cheap as you'd think.

To give you an idea, they wanted £150 to do my belt line and fuel flap, so I just bought the vinyl from them. Having done my fuel flap and attempted the belt line, I can understand why it's not cheap.

Happy to help Eddie and if you've got the vinyl we might even be able to have a go at that too ... What's the worst that can happen :):)
