pillar wraps

[RaviR50]

hi guys, has anybody wrapped the pillar between the doors, i know that a lot of people do it in carbon but i have something different in my head maybe post some pictures of your wraps and any tips on wrapping??

Been considering doing the carbon wrap on my pillars,think it looks good,i a previous thread a few ppl have removed the vinyl which i think looks good on black

I want to wrap the pillars and im thinking a carbon on the spoiler, if i can get my hands on an LCR spoiler i might wrap that. Do you know if its easy to remove the original stuff?? would be handy to use the old stuff as a template

Got a cupra r boot spoiler to go on mine

Alot of ppl put it over the top of the original,can't see it coming off in 1 piece it would probably stretch anyway,you can buy them on ebay pre cut

It's possible ... with a heat gun.

But I simply covered over the existing and used a sharp modelling scapel...

If you use a heat gun / hair dryer it is easy to cut the film where the existing lines can be seen from old stuff. Pulling the seals back (hence windows open) also helps you get a good line... a steady hand helps!

looks good i want to be a bit different so i'm not gonna use carbon. You didnt use the precut ones then??

Heat and pull, then use IPA to remove the old glue.

Is it just the standard paint underneath if I remove them all together ?

Not sure if I like them at all tbh.

That's 3M dinoc carbon film...

But yes it's standard paint under original film... Doesn't look right with it removed.

When I wash the car though its the only bit that's not shinny. Might do mine in a piano black instead of the original dull colour

Any pics with them completey removed anyone ?

It looks well on a black car when removed. Iv done mine but have not got any pics, theres some pics on here somewhere of it done thats how i got the idea.
