Looking good.
And the car.....
Not to pick hairs, but it wasn't strictly a wrap. More applied vinyl. I gave up with Frederics Corse and ended up painting the front and rear clams but the side decals/stripes were vinyl.
Vacuum/heat applied vinyl will conform to any surface and you simply can't get it off, although that's probably old technology these days. Scale wouldn't be a problem either as they used to do those huge motorway signs that way.

Ordinary sign vinyl? I'm sure you're right John, but you'd have the same problems with expensive wrap vinyl. I know I did on the Fiat 131's scuttle vent holes, and it was good stuff I was using. The recesses in the boot lid were also a problem. Deep, and bending in two directions.
Modern vehicles, (and motorway signs) are largely flat, and lend themselves better to vinyl wrap.
Wrap vinyl, both coloured and printable, lets air pass through it. That's why you don't get air bubbles. You can heat it with a hot air gun and pull it around more, but that process isn't limitless.
