Cheers for the compliment Grumps .
You didn't mention cow s*** Steve !!Cheers for the compliment Grumps .
I think it's safe to say I'll be driving home with a big smile tomorrow.......and a keen eye on loose gravel,puddles and any car in front of me .
Steve.
Don't go there Gramps!You didn't mention cow s*** Steve !!

You're right there mate,I think Sean said it takes three weeks for the paint to harden off so will have to be extra careful for a while.You'll be very protective for a while mate. When that first stone chip appears....... I remember @Mint having his done and within about 24 hours he'd gained a Stone chip the size of France on his bonnet! I think if I get my front end done again in the future I'd like to get it clear wrapped straight after.
You wouldn't want to be doing that till the paint is fully hardened either as you need to use "tools" to smooth the wrap. Sean has done you a cracking job mate, you'll be like dog wi' two tails tomorrow.You're right there mate,I think Sean said it takes three weeks for the paint to harden off so will have to be extra careful for a while.
Wonder what the cost is to have to bonnet clear wrapped as you said.
Steve
£300 ish I believe to get the front of the bonnet and the bumper done mate. Or it was, probably have gone up by now.You're right there mate,I think Sean said it takes three weeks for the paint to harden off so will have to be extra careful for a while.

Yes I would have thought that as well Tony,I would leave it a while if I go down that path.You wouldn't want to be doing that till the paint is fully hardened either as you need to use "tools" to smooth the wrap. Sean has done you a cracking job mate, you'll be like dog wi' two tails tomorrow.

Just had a thought, could you not dry out the 'damp' interior of a car like that?it has been baked at 70c
Yes you could, just open the doors, its bloody hot in there, when we bake plastic bumpers off the car they have to be fully supported as they go out of shapeJust had a thought, could you not dry out the 'damp' interior of a car like that?
