Silly answer (sorry), yes if u cover the sensor.
There is no replacement for displacement....
But a turbo does help....

Thought it might have been a silly question haha I'd imagine the wrapping place would cut sections out for you?

Very much so, or get a fading one, and see if u can get the fade to stop before the sensor.

Was thinking of a solid black one. Recon the cut outs would be noticeable?

Only to those who get close or know there's a sensor there. I thought the light sensor was inside the cabin and not at the top of the windscreen? Thought only the rain sensors was at the top of the windscreen?

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

The rain sensor is on the rear view mirror and the light sensor is at the top of the windscreen I think

The rain and light sensor are stuck to the windscreen looking through from the rear view mirror

The sensor on top of the dash is for your heating / air con,  to detect if sunny it will alter your temperatures slightly so you don't get to hot,  its called the sunlight sensor
Loads of extra's and retro fits.
