Default Downpipe wrapping question (with pics)

Hey guys, yeah it's me again, the dumb *** who couldn't figure out how to use the stainless steel ties from yesterday lol. So I've figured it out now, but just wanted ur opinions on a few things pleeeaaaasssseeee ......

Okay, here's a pic of the whole thing......



Ignore the fact I haven't cut the end of the ties off yet lol. It kinda looks alright I think, but I'm not happy with a few bits. Okay, first of all, I started just after the hole where the oxygen sensor goes, cuz it was SO fiddly to try and get a neat start on that fat sloped bit right at the top.......



I just thought if needed, I can always do the top bit with a left over bit of wrap at the end like. Would you guys bother covering that bit? Or shall I just leave it how it is? Not sure how everyone else does it. Also, the bit where the sports cat is was a bloody pain in the absolute ****!!! Was hard to get a nice even coverage whilst keeping the 1/4" overlap on the wrap, while going round a bloody bend aswell! So yeah, I ended up with this.......



There's a few bits that are kinda loose. They only LOOK loose tho, they aren't gonna go anywhere I don't think. Is this gonna cause a problem do ya think? Will wind get in there and try and lift 'em up sorta thing? I know that wrapping isn't for looks purposes and it isn't meant to be a work of art, but I am a bit of a perfectionist and kinda thought I'd be able to do it better than that lol. But if you guys say it's gonna be alright then I'm happy
