Revealing a HIDDEN CARBON Roof - GR Yaris Project

[@saamyohalder]

Hey I really liked the video! If I had one suggestion to make, it would be to use manual exposure controls on your recording camera. It would prevent all those absolutely blown out shots :)

[@WillEgby]

Thanks for the feedback. Very true. The weather was all over the place that day so I decided auto would be easiest. But you are correct, manual is always better. Outsmarting the computers, haha!

[@L0co123]

Thanks for making this video. Great guide for others wanting to remove the vinyl roof thing, as the car is meant to be from factory.

[@WillEgby]

Thanks a lot. Yes there are lots of other videos but none seemed to talk about the aerial, seals or ppf process so I wanted to do that.

[@marcusreddy7825]

Great job on the roof.

[@kevinDG7]

Didn't even know it was a wrap from factory. But that forced carbon looks really good on the gr.

[@WillEgby]

Yes, I'm really pleased with the results.

[@parenthlete]

Love the GR Yaris nice understated hot hatch

[@WillEgby]

Same! Mine isn't so understated now but they sure can be.

[@IsacNyman13]

could you make a video about how you clean your GR yaris properly?

[@WillEgby]

I sure can.

[@wilberstarz8736]

Exceptionally thorough job and video, shame the roof still has so much orange peel!

[@adamski1400]

Nice job there. Still undecided on getting a giacuzzo spoiler, looks great from some angles but a bit stuck on from others..

[@WillEgby]

I agree but I think it's the best option around. It looks aggressive but still sleek and well integrated into the cars design.

[@WillEgby]

Thanks.

[@jackamundo1]

Where did you buy the ppf? Also what was in the tack bottle 😊 but good job mate 🙌🏻😊

[@WillEgby]

PPF was Xpel Ultimate from ebay. It will probably come from US so be careful of import charges. Tack bottle was water with 10% alcohol. There's lots of varying info online but that's what worked for me. 🤷‍♂️

[@jackamundo1]

@@WillEgby ah ok cool. What size did you buy? Don’t wanna buy too much or too little 😂

[@WillEgby]

@@jackamundo1 can't remember. Just make sure you have at least 6 inches or 1 foot of excess all around. If you have too much, you can use it on the rear arches as that's a hot spot. The excess is good to tack down temporarily and if you don't get it perfectly square first time.

[@tracklover180]

What adhesive remover did you use?

[@WillEgby]

I tried a bit of sticky stuff remover which was okay and then wurth brake cleaner was best.

[@tracklover180]

@@WillEgby Thank you! 👍

[@steffydog]

Great job 👍

[@johncamplin3557]

Personally I don’t like the actual carbon finish think it looks like a 1980’s kitchen worktop. Lot of work for very little gain but each to there own.

[@miyagiracer]

roof looks good but still fixing the harness to the cusco strut bar, please fix it before it is too late !!!

[@WillEgby]

It's all sorted, don't worry. You will have to wait to see it though...

[@chrismiddleton3342]

Was there a point at which you thought "Why did I start this?"

[@WillEgby]

Ohh yes. The video doesn't show it as much but the corners took longer to sort out that the rest of the ppf. It was an education though.

[@desnekke7073]

Lamborghini sells this as forged carbon 😂

[@donbraga4863]

Looks nice but you'll loose the 10 year warranty..

[@tracktimevideos5164]

Roof looks good. Think I will keep mine with the standard wrap though, the forged carbon effect looks a bit too much like a granite kitchen worktop for my taste.

[@WillEgby]

Haha

[@tracktimevideos5164]

Seriously that harness setup is a deathtrap if you have a stack.

[@dibbygibby]

Explain please - without that your comment is a threat?

[@WillEgby]

It's been addressed, the video just isn't up yet.

[@jaylahey6827]

Imagine racing go carts at your age 💀

[@tracktimevideos5164]

Nothing wrong with Karting, it is great fun, relatively low cost (for motorsport) and is great practice for many aspects of driving cars.

[@WillEgby]

It's by far the most aggressive and competitive form of motorsport at the national level, as I was competing. Every core skill and physical aspect is best learnt in a kart.

[@WillEgby]

What do you race?
