==Applying Vinyl== This is KPMF 190 Micron Textured FF stone chip vinyl and is charcoal black.<br /> Obtained from MDP supplies for about Β£9/m (you need 2 meters but this will allow 5 strips to be cut- so you have some to play with)<br /><br /> Note also that this has no air release, so any bubbles will need to be pricked out with a pin using a bit of heat.<br /> The reason I chose it was it's stone chip resistant and looks similar in colour and texture to what is fitted to the 400.<br /><br /> It also covers existing stone chip film rather well - the odd line shows through, I didn't want to risk paint peeling if removing the clear film and there's nothing wrong with it so it's still there... [[image:Evora-DIY-Sill-Wrapping-8.jpg|400px]] Peel the backing paper and hang loosely from the top of the sill, then gently straighten the top edge leaving no creases. [[image:Evora-DIY-Sill-Wrapping-9.jpg|400px]] Using a plastic card, start to work the vinyl down in a horizontal line (don't concentrate on one bit - it'll crease / bubble) [[image:Evora-DIY-Sill-Wrapping-10.jpg|400px]] [[image:Evora-DIY-Sill-Wrapping-11.jpg|400px]] [[image:Evora-DIY-Sill-Wrapping-13.jpg|400px]] Make a relief cut on the corner edge here. [[image:Evora-DIY-Sill-Wrapping-12.jpg|400px]] Then tuck / smooth the remaining vinyl towards the rear wheel [[image:Evora-DIY-Sill-Wrapping-14.jpg|400px]] Working the vinyl around the bottom curve - again try to do the whole thing and keep the crease straight as this will help with air release and prevent bubbles.
