Pretty sure there's been a thread on this one. From memory, the mounting lugs break when you remove it.

You can't wrap it on the car and try to shrink the wrap right down into the sides..? That's what I'd try first, even if you just use a 100mm off cut to see if its possible.

thought about doing that, didn't want to root around pulling **** off if i didn't have too. Also the best place to buy it, ebay looks only to have short lengths.

As said 9 times out of 10 they break when you remove them. Might be worth pricing a new one up they may not be that exxy.

One of the sponsors on site sells some, 3m designer wrap, really good stuff, got a accessory pack for Christmas and used it on my chrome bits ha ha. Looks good and can remove it easily and safely if you get sick of it which is good

It wont break when you take it off, if your careful.

You need to remove the black/cream plastic pieces on the inside of the tailgate. When that is removed there will be some nuts[4 I think] and a couple of tabs[yellow if I remember rightly] you need to push in to remove it. then unhook the camera and all the other pieces attached.
