Still white. He is going to do the door sills Tuesday. Inside boot/bonnet wouldbe extra.Did he do inside door and boot as well? Or are they still white?

Re: Introducing...... The Lorax
Yep, heaps of colours. Find a picture of the colour you'd like and he'll match it (thats what I did). Material guaranteed for 5-7 years. Take care of it and it will probably last longer.
As to joins, he avoided the one on the roof by doing the carbon fibre. Really like the effect actually (was unsure when he suggested it over the phone). Ive learned from this the more you remove, the better the job.I removed taillights, indicators, aerial. I would now also remove most of front and rear bar bolts so that can easily be slid out to wrap. Locks in door handle would have been good to remove as well (oh and wing)

Re: Introducing...... The Lorax
I have too many dents and roof rust. Because of the bodywork, I think it will work out cheaper for me to respray while at it..
I just had to add it ......

Re: Introducing...... The Lorax
That price is definitely the number we like.
We also need to sort the bodywork out, remove the dents, repair that fukuta rear window rust, and fix the front left guard.
