Just finished, it wasn't too bad to be honest but I have a couple minor imperfections that are only noticeable up close :-/ but anyway here's how it looks.

Cheers, the finish along the side is pretty good to be honest. I used a cutting tape call "wrapcut pro". You mark out where you want your line using that, wrapfully over it, then pull on a thread/wire that's incorporated into the tape and it cuts a straight line. Here's some pics of the sides and the tape

I don't think you'd want me doing yours to be honest mate haha it's not the best job but I'm happy with it for now lol I wouldn't want to mess yours up.
As for the bumper lip....I tried that last week and it's horrendously tricky. I ended up ripping it off lol

Thought you were selling up? Where the remap being done at?
Can't decide on what I want 100% and having just spent on a new wheel bearing plus major service and MOT due at the end of the month (will devalue car if not due anyway) ive decided to keep it until next year so may as well map it :)

Its going to Big Fish Tuning in Stokesley, Dan. I've had my old 1.2TSi and the defender mapped by him and John has done a great job on both so I trust him to do the same again :)

The roof wrap looks good Minty. I'm looking at doing mine soon along with wing mirrors. Ive got a cr170 in speed blue.
Went to pw pro in Mansfield the other day and they want 70 quid for doing the wing mirrors alone! Definitely going to be doing it myself. Can't decide whether I want gloss, satin or carbon though!
I wrapped my bumper lip the other day, looks cracking from a distance but close up it isn't great as I did it by myself so was a struggle due to the size.

front grill surrounds are a right ballache, i did mine and was happy with it till it started pulling back so in the end i binned it and got a black plastic surround...

I do really like the roof wrap on the white Leon's. What would a satin wrap on a speed blue Leon look like I wonder? Excellent work Minty.

Cheers dude, for me on a candy white leon it looks mint. I've not seen many other different coloured Leon's with it done. I'm sure someone on here got it done matte black on a red leon a while back


EDIT.
Ask someone in the photoshop section to rustle up a pic for you mate
