Default Vinyl Wrap

I am thinking of having the windscreen pillars wrapped in black vinyl.

Can anyone recommend a good place close to or in London?

TIA

PS - What do you think about wrapping an OEM hardtop in carbon fibre vinyl?

There is an excellent place just down the road from me.
And you know how to get there

They will happily entertain customer visits - if you phone up in advance

And you can see them working on a car.

Yeah, flavour of the week, it will be something else next week

Funny this though Haroon, most people have removed the black tape from the windscreen surround to get colour match (on pre 2001 cars, which had it)

I like the look with the black pillars.

If I get tired of it, the hair dryer will be out and the vinyl should come off in a jiffy.

I'd want a single piece cut so there are no visible joins and I would probably bugger it up if I had a go at it.
