mine was done about 2yrs ago and they only removed the little window trims under the mirror and the one in front of the mirror as those trims are only two way taped to the car. Everything still looks great after 2 yrs, good luck

Sir, I just corrected about 10 error on my front splitter. I couldn't get two of the marks out (they look like CF again, but there is a potmark in the clear part. But you can't tell. Then I covered it with regular PPF.
NO, you cannot cover it with this film. IT would look horrible. You can cover yours in basic clear film, but that would still show the rock chips. If you car is up for the winter, PM me, and maybe we can figure something out on yours to get it fixed first. Second, you can cover yours with a color film and cover it all up if you desire.
The above CF clear film makes it look like your car panel is done in colored (your body color) carbon fiber. I will show some examples in a week or so. I am going to do my black roof in it.

Ok quick update, I have had the window trim and the rear defuser (silver) all done in satin black. 3M 10 year film the guy did it for me a bit of a favour on Sunday this cost came in at R1600.00 +- USD 120
i machined the wheel spacers myself I exhausted my options with suppliers who were unsure on the questions I asked and how many nuts and studs and and and.
being in SA help on these cars is not easy although Aston 40 on here who live 1500km away has been a great inspiration. I machined the spacers from T6062 aircraft alluminium, I have kept the standard 41mm studs stock in case I want to go back to standard
the rear spacer is 23mm and I have today had another mate with a bigger mill remove 3,4mm deeper into the bolt dish on the wheel itself, the rear spacer has a 12 mm deep spigot and now the wheel fits on and the new nuts will each have 7 turns this in engineering terms will be as good as OEM.
keeping the standard stud with no cutting.
the front I could not get happy with the suggested 11 mm spacer so made 10.22mm this gives sufficient spigot contact in the standard rim
bolts ok here is a thorn 14x2 @$&@&)! FsKe no one in Africa carries this .....so I have received from JHB a set of wheel nuts from eibagh with a 10x1.25 thread
I have machined it to a 12mm blank and am now cutting a 14x2 thread this is a time consuming job
wheels go in for paint tomorrow and all being good I will have the project completed by Thursday I will try to post pics
