Wrapping a car - problems in hot areas, engine covers

[DrYazz]

Dear fellow petrol-heads,

I took my car to the local wrapping specialist (www.procut.at) here in Vienna, and they said (in German, naturally) that they felt my engine bay gets so hot that it would effect the quality of the wrap/ vinyl in those specific hot areas.

I am not an expert in these matters, and I respect their professional judgement, but I have been told by an American racer friend, that racing cars which too have hot engines and body parts do not experience problems with their vinyl wrap.

This may get too technical for me, but if anyone has had a vinyl wrap on their car, is there a particular brand or SKU number for the vinyl that you could recommend? I can then supply this information to my local wrapping company.
