I can't honestly remember. I know it was 8 a side I think and pretty much all of them broke. It's just something that can't be helped cos clips are plastic and brittle :/

Had the ones off where it drops down the rear window, may just have to pop to Mitsubishi see the damage. On the front did you tuck the wrap under the seal or trim before it?

Thanks foxy, must have more than i thought, but you can see the progress as you do it so think that helps lol..don't want to do it again ;)

Well not put off by the wrapping of the bonnet tout we would finish it off and do the boot lid. Surprising how heavy it is really lol.. Was easier than the bonnet to do althought the bottome part which we did first took no time where as the top was a real pain.

The results

Yeah it is, better quality and should hopefully last a lot longer. Good idea to get the felt applicator, didn't for the bonnet but got one for the boot and made it some what easier lol.. Although nice bit of cars works well lol

You will have to dig them out mate, did you do the roof yourself? Thought about it before but can't be an easy panel to do?

Umm no you can get non bubble that's not 3m.. The 3m is better stuff quality wise.

Bonnet took hours, first attempt to wrap something big and didn't want to make a mess so I think including taking off and refitting it we spend a good 8 hours, including breaks and dinner lol.. Boot didn't even take half that time. With lunch ;)

Top work there mate.... Looks really good on the car :)
Did you leave the guttering in the roof? Don't think we will be doing the roof now to be fair happy with bonnet and the boot lid
