Chrome is notoriously a PITA to wrap too!

Thanks but that is ppf it is always done in separate pieces vinyl wrap is heated and stretched in as few pieces as possible.

Yeah I think one piece would be tough. The guys that did my wrap did it in two pieces with a little strip down the middle to join them. If you zoom in on my attached picture, you might just about be able to see the join but it's very well done and you'd have to be up really close to see it. The inside of the snorkel is a separate piece too but again, hard to see unless your face is in the snorkel.

Wrapping question

I was a sign maker previously and worked with vinyl a lot however I am thinking of wrapping the atom 4 air intake and bonnet however can not get my head round how to wrap the air intake in 1 piece as the vinyl would have to go inside the scoop a bit and also underneath it’s a long shot but does anyone happen to know how you would go about wrapping the air intake even in 2 pieces without noticeable joins?
