OMG, redo that wrap. Take your time use more materials on those edges and make the cut on the vinyl AFTER you tuck/fold it under the panel. Also, even with such small pieces, you need a 2nd hand. Get your wife to hold the vinyl or the pieces while you do the stretching and heat gun. If you stretch you need to do it uniformly, and there's no way you can do without having someone else hold the piece and vinyl down for you.

Your kid's friends would totally make fun of the poor vinyl job.

Agreed with guy above on not using patterned vinyl on large panels b/c you need to stretch and fold the vinyl. Patterned vinyl would be more seamless on smaller trim pieces or large flat square pieces, but definitely not panels like bumpers with many bends and curves. That mirror cap probably can be done better if you use a 2nd hand. IMO, redo the hood too
