The whole job cost £750 (would have been £850 if I wanted the roof done). That includes a 5 year guarantee against workmanship (peeling/bubbling) and 7 yr guarantee for the vinyl itself. In all honesty that is longer than I think I will have the car and I may/may not remove it at resale - depends on if white is still in fashion.

As regards chips, scratches its good - vinyl is a tough material, you can damage it, but it takes alot, and even then the paint underneath is protected. Vinyl'ing a panel costs less than painting one. Also, any chips/scratches in vinyl wouldn't bother you to the same psychological level as you know its only temporary The Mrs reversed into the corner of the back bumper already but in fairness the vinyl is fine, the scuffs on the vinyl polished out with AG SRP

I won't be telling DVLA, as its temporary, but I did tell the insurance exactly what I have done - no increase in premium so may aswell make sure I have given them no excuse to get out paying in the event of a claim.
