This guide covers a vinyl wrap installation on a green 1992 to 1999 BMW M3 fender. The video walks through the complete fender wrapping process on an Adam LZ giveaway car, starting from initial panel prep to the final trim.
Fender Wrap Steps
Proper preparation and tension control make wrapping complex body panels straightforward:
- Cut the material down to shape directly on the fender before laying it out.
- Roll the backing paper toward the back of the car starting at the front, then tack the vinyl down.
- Roll the rest of the backing paper and tack down the top side.
- Cut away excess backing paper along the bottom to keep the lower section from sticking early.
- Glass out the front portion of the fender, then work the entire top side down.
Finishing and Trimming
Next, pull the remaining backing paper from the bottom section and glass out the vinyl. Work out all the air from behind the film. Once the vinyl is flat, cut it down to shape by using the opposite edge of the fender. Remove the excess material, tuck the edges, and cut the rest of the fender for a clean finish.
Aura Vinyl wrap uses a cast polymer hybrid construction with German-made adhesive and a PET backing for smooth results and repositioning.
