Installing M Performance skirt film-Easy enough?

Anyone have experience with installing this decal?

My dealer is quoting over £150 to install this for me and looking at the instructions it doesn't look too difficult.

Anyone self installed and if so is it easy for a novice to carry out?

Cheers.

Not too difficult. The sooner you can install the better. You'll want to ensure the surface is VERY clean and free of contaminants, this will ensure that you get a good bond on the film (decal). Pick up a scraper / squidgy to help in smooth application. Most films can be installed wet to allow for movement prior to drying and removing the pre-mask. Take your time is all I will say. If not done correctly, you'll stare at the imperfections...guaranteed.

Not very hard but not easy for someone who never worked with wrapping vinyl before. Have a heat gun ready and you would want to do this in warm weather.
