Ahhh, I'm glad someones done that Liver finally, the wrapping of the door panels. I've had the wrap for about 6 months but never go round to it yet and didn't know how to approach it lol!
How did you take the panels out gracefully?
Looks a great job btw. I don't think I could do them as well as I want to without taking them out properly.
That bit of glassy plastic is the only visibly scratched section on my car atm, got to be done :signLOL:
BTW, rear badge looks bloody good too. Impressed :happy2:

get them done mate.
To take them out you need to put the windows down
then on the window side of the billar peel back the window seal,
this will reveal two torx 20 screws, take these out,
then open your door and the pillars will slide straight out,
less than a 5minute job to remove and a fairly simple part to wrap as well with only the corners been the real issue to take care with. Hope this helps you, if you need to know anything else i'll try and let you know.
when the car goes in the bodyshop im going to have to remove all the arbon vinyled parts or they will perish when the car gets baked at 80 degrees once painted
liver:
