Challenging !
I did this Rover as a wrap as I couldn't print the white bits. I did it in separate parts for the roof, bonnet and sides. I printed plain blue pieces so that I could fill any gaps.
I couldn't envisage any success in doing a single mat type pattern and getting the lettering level, hence the separate areas. It seemed natural to start at the top but in hindsight, working upwards would have meant that any joins/overlaps would be less noticeable. Although, again, working upwards might have ended up with the lettering squint.
The wheel arches were the worst bits, getting them wrinkle-free took a lot of time brushing with Humbrol Decal-Cote.
The leading edge of the bonnet and headlight areas were not too difficult in terms of getting the material wrapped around the edge.
This bodyshell has the tail lights moulded in and getting the material to form around the lights was another long painful exercise (with lots of patching).
Allow lots of time to do the job as it needs to be done in one session, once it dries corrections are v difficult - another reason to do it in sections.
