   its easy to do mate iv done it to mine check my thread you can see it on there i got the vinyl from b&q and just marked it pout and worked out how many squares i need its not hard at all just make sure fit sticks down good then ones done give it a good clean but when u do it just fvorget about the sunroo andd just act like fit not there , obvously you dont sttick it on the sun roof but you still need to go round the edge of it just mark it gd because if you mark it good then it turns out good

Yeah i do realise everyone goes big, and being different is the best way mate fair play to you i really should knock up a progres thread soon but all i've done so far is have a headunit fitted and accidentally de-aerial the roof lol

    Depends how sure you are at actually wanting it. If your sure you want it and want to keep it them get it painted, way better finish that you can paint etc however if you arent sure it's alot cheaper and easier to remove if you get a vinyl.
