That would be interesting with our team, can't imagine the legs dangling out of the window as MrsBN get in through it has enough trouble via the door on access mode. But it may keep coffeecup afloat

This sounds like a good idea
Even if it all goes horribly wrong, it will still be a good laugh

We can cling film Martin as he has a soft top, save him getting dirty as well.

Probably quicker to use the wrap as a removable soft top, rather than all that fuss with canvas and frame sticks as wellDiscovery 3 tdv6 7 seat Buckingham Blue

Now I understand what 10FC meant when he'd include some with the DVD's he posted to me and all I found was a not very sticky version of the Blue Peter 'Sticky Backed Plastic'. It's very similar in appearance to the stuff you put on the screens of PDAs and Mobile Phones.
Black would be fine on my Dark Green D3, as it looks Black (until next to a black car).
I'm sure that the bubble wrap could be stuck on top of the body protection stuff. Coffeecup March 2005 TDV6 S - Tonga Green - Manual May 2008 TDV6 SE - Stornoway Grey - Auto Dec 2010 SDV6 XS - Galway Green - Auto

There's two types, the (much) cheaper pallet wrap, typically sold on 300m x 500mm rolls - you want the 'hand stretch' type, not the machine stretch, and a minimum of 25 micron thick, usually sold in clear, although the opaque black seems 'clingier'. Should be available from local packaging factors. The stuff I sent Coffeecup a sample of is a low-tack adhesive coated non - stretch film, usually 50 micron thick or greater, I've tested the adhesive on vehicle paintwork (standard and paint-protection treated) and it leaves no residue and does not discolour the paintwork. The manufacturer recommends not to leave it on beyond 10-14 days to prevent adhesive migration. It is generally available in 100m rolls with widths up to 1200mm, the down side is that it costs up to £78 a roll.... (more than Mrs. 10 ) and is usually only available in clear. The Sample I sent Coffeecup was only a small piece (cos i'm a tight Yorkshireman) but in larger pieces it adheres well and will not come off when wading / drowning

Top Tip for the Wales Weekend - Always check the hotel toilets very carefully if 10 has been in the loo before you
