Headlight wrap?

Yesterday i finished a wrap early. Ive wanted to wrap something on the mini for some time now i just did not want to change anything to where it would not be a GP anymore.

So in the end i used Oracal 970 RA wrapping cast.

Before.


After





Now i have the wrap bug and i dont know what else to wrap.

It does look great +1
So I am going to google the wrap you used but I am not sure what that is or how it works. I am assuming you did this yourself, is this your first wrap? Was the wrap designed for the trim ring or is it a vinyl wrap and could have been used for anything? Hopefully my questions make sense.

Thank You

The 970 RA is a premium wrapping cast you can use it for anything and is one of the best on the market right now.

If you are going to apply it yourself i would suggest reading up on it before wasting material. But in the end its practice practice practice that will make your wraps perfect.

This is my first wrap on the Gp but no where near my first.
I own a sign shop here in Michigan.


I am going to wrap my gas tank lid today and possibly i can do a short write up.

Thanks for the quick reply. It just looks like a cool DIY project. Vinyl Styles is nearby but I kinda wanted to do the headlight trim myself. Where do you get the product? I checked out the company's website and located some shops in the area (70 miles), but would rather buy it online, I will keep looking. The gas cap is another one I wanted to wrap, I will keep an eye out for your write up.
