Ps, you need to buy Gambit's wedssports and slam your car.

Mirrors = easy!
Cut a peice around A4 size
Get a spray bottle with a tiny bit of dish washing detergent just enough to make the water feel a little slimey add a tiny tiny pinch of metho, this helps water and detergent dissipate. Remove backing sheet and wet the adhesive side with a light mist.
Grab a bosch heat gun or similar (hair dryer).
Position and apply with a felt squeegee.
Start from the middle and work you way out heating as you go.
The trim any excess with a scaple to the mirrors natural contours and lines.

Alternatively do it dry but it takes a bit of skill!
I've wrapped around 200 cars, boats, planes, bikes and a helicopter of all shapes and sizes.
Give it a crack!

Looks like you've done a pretty good job so far!!

I think it's 3M and you can get nearly any colour in the rainbow if you look hard enough

[bates91]

3M 1080
the shizz. best of the best haha. made specifically for car wraps.
metrorestyling (US site) i got it from.
rang up mike@carbondemon for a quote to supply, just to see, as i dont have a problem with supporting aussie business if its a marginal difference. but he wanted $1300 for the same amount......so i was like f that for a joke hahah

heres a list of all the colours you can get from the 1080 series, but honestly you're best off ordering samples so you can actually see the finish in person. theyre like $2 each from that metrorestyling site, so i got a bunch of different ones just to see
