The car looks fantastic! The detailers have done a fantastic job. Mine had the same issues with the bonnet thank goodness they do a wider roll.

Beautiful car.
We saw Lindisfarne at the old fire station in Carlisle last year. They were fantastic and it is a superb venue. I look forward to the comparison between the M4 and the Jag, as I went from a BMW 650 to a v6s and have never looked back.
Enjoy the F.

I saw them in Brighton in the 1970s just after they released Dingley Dell. Great band!

My detailer did a sort of 'fold and tuck' under the wheel arch and produced what he calls "little teeth" where the PPF has mini overlaps. If it takes in water and eventually starts to lose adhesion, he said I should take it back and he will cut it flush to the bottom of the wheel arch, rather than the current overlap that he did. Did you detailer do the same, or did he come up with a better solution?

Yeah mines wrapped under pretty much all the edges, there were a few they couldn't but most were including the wheel arches where they've done a similar sort of thing with cuts to make the curves.

I'll be interested to see how yours holds up. Mine is doing fine so far, but I'm careful if I go anywhere near a jet wash and wouldn't dare go near a cheap hand wash company (I wouldn't do that even if I hadn't had some PPF applied, of course :D ) .
