- In this video we see if we can use some carbon fibre vinyl wrap to create an SVR carbon bonnet / hood look on our Range Rover Sport 5.0L Supercharged. This is very much our first attempt at using wrap and we show some of the problems that a novice and encounter...
your first issue was using KPMF. its a cheap vinyl and not worth the money. If you went for 3M or Avery it would have been a breeze. Also near cut on the vehicle with a scalpel
Should use knifing tape, NEVER CUT ON THE VEHICLE 😱
The trick with that stuff is warmth, make sure it is warm before you start and keep the hair dryer handy for the awkward sections
Yes i think we need more use of heat.
Well done Simon 10 out 10 for first attempt shorter version looks better in my opinion.
Hi 🙋♂️ looks much better with Range Rover letter
🙏🙏
i need your help my range rover will not start , its stop and start i press the start button screen goes of and back on but not even a crank any idea?
I like the partial carbon fiber, exposing front of hood.
By his own admission Yanni can’t vinyl wrap at all, he employs people to do that. He just owns the business.
I think it looks better with the shorter version.
Hi - I guess that is why he is more successful than me !... that and he is better looking and way more entertaining !
I was not sure the shorter one would do the job but it works pretty well overall and its much easier to do.
Simon...my thoughts... Clay Barring...use much more lubricant and only rub the clay gently and slowly in straight lines feeling the clay release the paint contaminates...rubbing in circles causes swirl marks. The vinyl...going by the wrap application I see at Topaz, maybe yours was just a tad too thick and they always use wet application so almost slide the vinyl on then squeegee it out and smooth it flowing with the curves..the thinner stuff sees to accept and mould much more easily. Yes you should sell it, the shorter version looks better and saves the bother with the lettering...also would letters stick to the vinyl as easily as on paint? I’m still hoping for a bonnet airbag covering on the D/Sport!! Brave work men...now get Tylor to watch a few Yannimse films...only don’t tell him how much they charge as it will give him ideas!!! Stay safe..Richard😃😃😃😃😃😃
Hi Richard - I must say how impressed I am that you are upto date with all these new TH-camrs like Yanni - younge George introduced me to Yanni's videos and we love watching them together.... of course Yanni is way cooler a dad than me... kids !
I was nervous with the whole wet apply as this was an air release film but I may have a 2nd attempt at this with a tinner gloss vinyl - cut to size - and wet apply.
Thanks for the prep advice...
We keep looking for an easy repair Disco Sport on copart.co.uk.... let me know if you see one !
@@L663 Simon...I watch too many! Have to dash right now but will find some done by Topaz who have a workshop at Aztec West, Bristol and in London. I have watched a number of them and was surprised how wrinkled the film was they lay it on any surface but they spray loads of water/slip and rely on the shaper/smoother blade to sort everything out. It seems to work on even complex shapes. One is Tim Burton (“SCHMEE150”) who had his McLaren Senna wrapped and that is a nightmare of complex curves. I will find the link and send it to you which you might find interesting! Next stop..15 litres of emulsion paint to get on a ceiling..great!! Richard😃😃😃😃
Much prefer the inset version for both retaining the lettering and ease of installation. I would like to see you boys offer this for we L320 owners also. The front of my hood has a clear film protective cover that I won't remove but have wanted a wrap for some time. I appreciate you keeping in the difficult bits you had as I am certain we all would run into those ourselves.
Fibre not Fiber.... Always worth watching
Yes i was debating this spelling....
Shorter version looks good
Hi Peter - I think we ill go to production with a shorter one and more glossy and wet apply type.... keep watching and thanks for your comment.
You are yet to change the wheels too to some juicy diamond black cuts.. do it pls
Looks good enhances front end. In my humble opinion I think you should now look at wet carbon transfer dip finish the silver alloy wheels to compliment the bonnet now. Thanks for the content. Eagerly await every video release. Just awaiting some LRDS content now 🤔😉
Very brave attempt Simon, personally I liked the full edged version and maybe a little wider. What about a gloss black to match the grill?? I failed badly trying to wrap my white RR roof in black gloss, with cheap wrap. It’s an art and you’re mastering it. Well done
I think we will go a little wider / shorter at the front / gloss finish and wet apply on V2 !
Wonder after all the changes and experiments made to this car.... how does it look... a detailed review perhaps??
We are thinking of doing one of our "50 top accessories" videos..
Personally I think it would look better if it were a bit wider to follow the contours on the bonnet and line up with the inner corner of the headlights at the front, and a gloss carbon would match the gloss black on the bumper and vents better. That being said cracking first attempt and no doubt everyone will have a different opinion!
Hi Matthew I think I agree with you on these points... yes a gloss carbon would match the other carbon on the car and slightly wider.
You need to use more heat gun and the stretch the vinyl while laying it down and you should’ve use the gloss carbon fibre. And use the cutting tape on the bonnet for the edges so u can lay the bonnet and the cut it for a flawless finish
I get the impression you are a guy who knows what he's doing - this must have been painful for you to watch !
I think it will be down to personal choice looks good on your RR Sport but I wouldn't use it on my D4. I'm like you Simon, always willing to give it a go myself. 😜
very brave but looks ok for your 1st attempt,good stuff
Yes like my school reports... not that good but full marks for trying !
@@L663 ha ha
Hi, are you planning to start selling this? When will it be listed on your website? I would like to get one.
That’s ok for first done , look Justin‘s comment ! 👋
I prefer the cut down version where you can still see the lettering
You did well there guys.
Wouldn't a soapy spray bottle help? Then take all the backing off and slide it in to place, then squidge down.. That's what I've done in the past, then over it all with the heat. Good effect tho, thinking about doing my D4...
I must admit the wet apply films seem to work better ( easier for a novice like me to apply )
Short version looks better, maybe add large SPORT lettering cut out down the passenger side.
OMG! I hope you don't work on other's vehicles. I can't believe you are removing letter's adhesive backing with a drill; instant paint damage.
This is the reason I have 30 cars... I only work on my own cars...
v2 looks better!
Short version better.
Much better trimmed down.
👍👌👌👍🤷♂️🤷♂️❤️
