Check out 9800 mactac vinyl Sylvain,its what they use to wrap cars etc it has a good life span outside and they do RAL colours.

Decide the width you need and make a block with a scalpel in it to cut it straight.

I have a question: how did you do or where did you by the material to make the 2 black stripes on your bodywork? I'd like to do the same kind of things on mine, but I don't know if there is another way than painting them (which I'd like to avoid)? Any supplier address, etc., you could give or recommend please?
Also, I will need to have these stripes made in a special colour (which I have the RAL number for). Do you think this is possible?
Thanks you.
Hi Sylvain,

If you look on ebay and type in matt black vinyl stripes there are lots of companies offering precut lengths which you just need to stick on. with the help of youtube videos! there are lots of different widths available. mine are 50mm each

thanks for the kind words about the car

Thanks for the tips Paul and David. I just watched a couple of videos on you tube about this vinyl wrapping, and yes, it looks exactly like what I need. Now I'll have to try to fond this product locally, otherwise I can still order the stripes from the UK.
Thanks a lot :)

Hi Syl ....the stuff I used was just cheapo off ebay and as for cutting stripes the back of most vinyls have 1cm square grid on so it is very easy to cut straight lines with just a pair of scissors.

It's the actual test centre that gives you the date.
I recieved an email to say it had been processed and later that day got a call.

Also I paid for the test 2 days after reciept of the docs but recieved the email 16 days after recieving them.
I'm sure it will be different but it's a guide.

Have you applied for the v55/5 online? Mine took 2 weeks to turn up and you can't download it.
