Fuji white with black roof wrap

We've bought a Fuji white Evoque from stock and we wanted a black roof, so the dealer offered to get someone to wrap it for us for £250 which we took. Has anyone done this before? We've not taken delivery of the car yet to see what it's like, but just interested in people's view of wrapping?

RE: Fuji white with black roof wrap

SINGHY had his Grey RRE roof wrapped Black, which looked as good as the factory paint job. So don't worry.

I've seen his RRE at the first birthday meet @gaydon & you wouldn't know it's not paint.

RE: Fuji white with black roof wrap

Wrapping can look every bit as good as painting and having the roof done in black is a fab choice, ..not that I am biased, having this combination myself, lol. You can buy car care products especially for looking after vinyl wraps too. I look forward to seeing your new car, ENJOY! Smile Paula xx

That looks great. I've been thinking about doing black roof and black vinyl over the "Range Rover" characters as well... not 100% that I'll do it yet, but it's mighty good looking!

RE: Fuji white with black roof wrap

Michael you can buy black Range Rover lettersets that even come with a template so you get them stuck on correctly! All you need to remove the old letters is a hairdryer and a length of fine fishing line or dental floss. There is a UK based company with an Ebay.co.uk store where you can buy them and they also have a non-E-bay website too

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

I have used three firms (one to supply the rear for my Pure, one to supply the replacement letters for the bonnet of my Pure when I sold it, and one for the rear of my current Dynamic) based on which was the cheapest at the time on e-bay. The only issue with the templates is that they are not quite correct; they assume the lettering goes on the car absolutely horizontal, when in fact both bonnet and boot lettering is subtly curved upwards to the outside.

My tip: tear off a piece of masking tape and place exactly flush above and one exactly flush under each letter. Make a mark with a pencil where the letter ends touch each piece of tape and then hairdryer to remove each letter and alcohol wipe to remove any excess glue/tape residue. Then place new letter to fit where the marks were from the old. This will maintain the original subtle curve of about 5mm difference from the end letters in relation to the centre of the car Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

This of course also means since you are only replacing one letter at a time that you should still get it right even if you can't spell, thus reducing the chance of ending up with a Ronge Raver!!

RE: Fuji white with black roof wrap

Contrast roof is a very popular option in UK, even if it is a very very expensive one when specced with the Panoramic roof
