Try dub customs in Essex. Seen lot's of their work on YouTube, looks top notch.Can anyone recommend a place or anyone that can wrap my cupra's roof and also the front lip on the grill gloss black in the south east?
FX UK in Bromley, but these guys look very expensive. Interesting to see what they quote you if you ask them though.

Identity Wrap are based in Tonbridge, I think these might be more realistically priced.

Haha, Stockport?! It's not worth the travel is it?!
That place in Bromley wanted almost £300 just to remove a roof wrap. Crazy.
I've got that impression too from a lot of these wrap places. They don't seem very interested unless they know what they're going to be working on, and even then they seem more keen if it's a posh car or a complete wrap job. Basically the more money the more they're interested. I contacted Dub Customs to remove the roof wrap and they quoted £120 which was great, but as I can only get to them on a weekend, they didn't get back to me with their next available weekend slot.
Horses for courses I guess, but they seemed the more amenable. The place in Tonbridge seemed ok too.
I know one of the guys (Sean) that owns Creative FX, I can assure you they aren't only interested in wrapping lambo's (he's wrapped quite a few Lambretta's and Vespa's.....)
The quote for removing the wrap on the roof isn't bad really when you think of the work (and more importantly time) that needs to do it properly. The roof wrap has to come off carefully using a heat gun a section at a time (that might take 2-3 hours, maybe more?) the whole roof then needs to be cleaned of adhesive and then buffed and polished. I wouldn't want to do it!

good luck with that then Dave!
Personally, I've seen the lacquer lifted very easily on wraps that have been on for only 3 months...
3hrs to remove a roof wrap? I agree you have to take your time with a heat gun but it won't take 3hrs. I was asking the guy at Stockport who wrapped mine about how I remove it when I hand the car back and he said he would do it for £20 and he has all the correct products required to remove left over adhesive.
Any luck finding somewhere local more, Dave?
If type "remove vinyl wrap" into YouTube you can see its not a 3hr job. Once heat is applied to the vinyl and the adhesive softens it peels off. I'm going to get my guy to do it because he's experienced at doing it and knows how much to heat it, what angles to pull it and has the correct chemicals to remove the residue left.Those prices are really good Dan, I can see them making quite a bit of money from these smaller jobs. I's crazy how hard it is to even get other places interested in doing it, even when ya call they never really seem to care unless ya want an expensive job doing.
Gonna call more places until I find someone I'm happy with, just know it's gonna end up costing another 150 odd to get it taken off and for me it's not worth it, coulda spent the money on a DSG box haha
