I'm thinking about getting a clear wrap on my roof to protect against scratches associated with using the roof bars. I'm going to look for quotes locally but just wanted a baseline to judge against if people are happy to divulge what they paid give or take. Cheers.

I paid £380 for my RR evoque roof wrap but this was back in 2018 so I’d imagine it’s more now. I’ve just peeled it off after just over 4 years with it as it was bubbling up and peeling off in places so I would budget that you may have to re do a PPF especially if it gets damaged. I wouldn’t have a Wrap again on any of my cars as it didn’t look as good as paint and started to wear after two years. Protected the paint though and did change the look of the car which is what I wanted but just isn’t a long term thing without being redone at some point. Also get it done by a reputable company with good reviews as I’ve seen a lot of poorly done wraps that haven’t lasted after driving it out of the workshop along with a damaged car!

I have heard about a film that is usually used on leading edge surfaces of high speed cars to withstand stone chips allegedly it self heals? Either way something to protect the roof against strap rash has to be worth looking at.

What about a Vinyl roof 70s style, might start a new trend?

In contrasting chiffon ivory with seams down each of the corrugations? No thanks.
