They say god loves a trier,
he must bl00dy love me!
I've tried to wrap the chrome on the boot twice, and was not happy with it both times,
doing it in situ is not ideal.
So this time I've took the damn thing off and wrapped it. :)

Looking good, always thought you’d need to get it off to get the best job.

Excellent choice of dinner (pot noodle):D
I see Tesco are trying to tempt you to spend as well, you need to tell them you’ve spent up on Merc personalisation :p

I prized it off from the bottom, starting at one end,
using small PLASTIC trim tools, there are about 10 clips along the trim, you have to be quite forceful, as it's also got 1/4 inch 2 sided tape at the top.

Looks good but pressed ali German style plates look better imo.

Good job on the wrap, I think I would have done it white though to match the car colour.

Not the best paintshop but you get the idea......

Did you not use a heat gun, especially on the tight curvy bits?
