Discover Our Expert Fitting Service

Choosing a custom finish for your car is an act of commitment. You’ve spent time selecting the perfect components, from sleek splitters to muscular spoilers, the precise additions that reflect your taste and performance. This process is personal, and it deserves to be completed with a fitting service that matches your dedication to detail. At Pro Vinyl Manchester, we understand that the final product, the one that truly transforms your vehicle, is only as good as the hands that apply it.

For every highly engineered product we offer, from a complex Land Rover Defender spoiler to an aggressive body kit for an Audi or BMW, the installation is the most vital step. It is the moment where raw material becomes lasting art. It is a service built on decades of combined experience, ensuring that every panel, every screw, and every component is fitted to a standard that simply cannot be replicated at home.

The Difference Between Installation and Imitation

It is easy to acquire high quality aftermarket parts, but the distinction between a fleeting attempt at customisation and a professional, durable finish lies entirely in the labour. We often see the result of amateur fitting, which can be spotted immediately through uneven panel gaps, insecure mounting points, or visible bolts. These flaws not only compromise the look of the finished product but, more importantly, jeopardise the structural integrity of the parts, especially those exposed to aerodynamic forces.

Choosing Pro Vinyl Manchester's fitting service is not an expense, it is an assurance. It is the guarantee that the product you have invested in will last for its full intended duration, standing up to the rigours of the road and the stresses of high-speed driving. Our fitting standard removes the worry of premature failure or misalignment, giving you the confidence that your new component is perfectly mounted, geometrically precise, and securely sealed. We treat every vehicle, from a high-volume Ford or Volkswagen to a low-production Ferrari or McLaren, with the same thorough process.

Precision: The Core of Component Fitting

While we are known across the region for our full vehicle wrapping services, our expertise extends deep into the mechanical and bodywork aspects of fitting exterior components. The level of precision required for an aerodynamic piece, such as a front splitter or rear diffuser, is entirely different from applying a car wrap, demanding knowledge of torque settings and load distribution.

Consider the precision required for fitting a complex aerodynamic component. If you are upgrading a Land Rover Defender with a new spoiler or adding a sleek diffuser to a high-performance Nissan or Porsche, the fitting must be robust, geometrically perfect, and flawlessly integrated. It’s a process that requires specialist tools, knowledge of factory mounting points, and the experience to manage material stresses. The alignment of a front splitter, for instance, must be accurate to within millimetres to ensure it works in harmony with the car’s existing aerodynamics, not against them. A misalignment here can create drag, noise, and instability at speed.

Also, many smaller, yet equally important, aesthetic pieces are fitted every week. These include car wrap mirror cap accents for a MINI, gloss black trim replacements on a Mercedes, or delicate interior pieces for a Tesla. Each piece requires a unique approach, whether it involves precise drilling for mounting points or secure fastening of an external part to withstand sustained high speeds. Our service covers the full spectrum of vehicle customisation, always ensuring that the finished product integrates seamlessly with the car's original design language.

The Professional Standard: How We Fit Your Parts

The fitting of performance and aesthetic components is a highly detailed procedure that starts long before a screwdriver is lifted. It involves thorough planning to ensure the integrity of the vehicle is maintained and the part is secured for life.

Surface Analysis and Preparation

Before any component is mounted, the surrounding bodywork is treated with the utmost care. This involves a thorough decontamination of the attachment area to ensure paintwork is clean and free of bonded contaminants. If a spoiler is being fitted to a boot lid, the surface must be perfectly clean where the adhesive and gaskets will meet the paint. We then move on to panel wiping every square inch with specialised degreasers. The goal is to remove any residual oils or waxes that could inhibit the secure bonding of the part or the accompanying seals. This preparatory phase is a foundation of our professional fitting service.

Drilling, Templating, and Factory Integration

Fitting components like spoilers, wings, or certain sections of a body kit often requires drilling into the vehicle’s body panels. This is a procedure that demands absolute accuracy. We use factory specific templates where available, or create precise, custom templates to guarantee the drill holes are perfectly positioned. A misplaced hole can compromise the panel’s integrity and lead to rust, but our methodical process ensures this is avoided entirely. We also use professional corrosion protection on all newly exposed metal surfaces before the component is bolted down. This ensures the longevity of your car is not compromised by the modification.

Torque and Stress Management

The secure fastening of parts exposed to wind resistance is paramount. We do not simply tighten bolts, we apply the manufacturer’s specified torque settings. This is important for preventing parts from rattling loose under vibration and for avoiding stress fractures in composite materials, like carbon fibre. Our technicians understand how to manage the stresses created when mounting large parts like side skirts and diffusers, ensuring a perfect and durable fit that is both safe and visually perfect.

Sealing and Gap Management

A professionally fitted component should integrate with the car's bodywork seamlessly. This means maintaining uniform panel gaps across the entire piece. Our specialists spend time aligning body kit sections, ensuring that the spacing between the new component and the original car body is consistent. Weather sealing is also vital. We use high quality, flexible gaskets and sealants to prevent moisture ingress where new components meet the existing body, protecting against water and condensation. This attention to detail is what distinguishes a custom car that looks factory built.

Beyond the External: Vehicle Wrapping and Car Wrap Complements

Our expertise in fitting complements our vinyl services perfectly. Many of our clients opt for a car wrap on the main body panels and vehicle wrapping black packs before fitting their aerodynamic components.

The complete transformation often involves integrating these services. For example, we might apply a full protective car wrap or Paint Protection Film (PPF) to a bonnet before mounting a carbon fibre vent. This ensures the underlying paintwork is protected before the component is permanently secured. Similarly, applying a vehicle wrap dechrome service to all window trims and grills creates a cohesive, high-performance look that is then finished off by the perfect fitment of a new splitter or side skirts. Our ability to blend these two services under one roof ensures absolute continuity and quality control across every part of your car’s exterior.

From Consultation to Custom Finish

The simplicity of our service ensures your journey to a custom finish is effortless. If you are ordering a specific component online, such as a new Land Rover spoiler, you simply select our fitting and collection option during checkout. The product is then delivered directly to our secure Manchester workshop. Following your order, a dedicated member of our team will contact you. We will discuss the installation process in detail, confirm the pricing structure, and schedule a date that suits your timeline. This approach ensures transparency and allows us to align your expectations with our professional standards from the very beginning.

The decision to entrust your vehicle to us is one we take seriously. It is a decision to protect your investment and transform your car with lasting quality. The true mark of professional component fitting is the durability of the mounting and the seamless, factory level appearance of the final product.
