Not happy with it so wrapping wing mirrors is currently off the list.
Looks ok from the pictures. Did it prove to be quite a (insert swear word) to do?

Yes.... It's a pig. I'll have another go next week. Need to get some wider wrap. If you can wrap one of these mirrors you can wrap anything.

Thanks for persevering
I did think the front bit of the mirror would be a right git to do! Frustration would definitely of got the better of me attempting that

Yes it is, it's that bits which surround the actual mirror which are a pig because it's got to be done with one piece of wrap. One more go and then I will admit defeat.

Wrapped my emblems a couple of weeks ago and have now noticed some crinkling around the edge. Have I pulled/ stretched the vinyl too much or may I have applied to much heat (or both). Will not be beaten though and will go again later. Cheers

Both badge and mirror look fine to me , I'd love to have mine done. Those genuine CF Mirror caps are far too rich for me!
