Looks awesome that mate, love the colour of the car too. Get your roof done too and it will look the dogs gahonies haha

That looks awesome, black around the grille is so much nicer than chrome.

Did you do the grill on the car mate ? Mine wil be same as yours on Sunday haha

 

[TDI ste]

Ive ordered gloss black, Kinda wish Id ordered matt black now 

 

[moggytom]

Gloss all the way for me ! Hates tt black after owning a Matt black car ! Shiny looks loads better

 

[Paulyb92]

I didnt do the grill on mine mate caus its already black isnt it.. Would be abit of a faf on to do aswell but i would imagine it would look awesome once done. And i agree with you on the gloss black, looks so much better than matt black.

I agree with you in most cases mate but after seeing the matt on the blue FR Im kinda liking that.... But my cars white so the gloss might look better on mine.

Mines blue lol so you'll be Able to compare haha

I seen some pics of the facelift cupra and really liked the front of it so I decided to do something similar on my fr. Some matt black vinyl and an afternoon's work

What did you use to cut the vinyl when its stuck down and ready for trimming ?
My vinyl and felt edge squeezy came today.
Did you just use a stanley blade or one of those scalpel knife thingys ?

 

[old 'uns]

Use a scalpel blade and practice how much pressure you need on something off the car.
you'll be surprised how little is needed, unless you've bought cheapo Vinyl

Cheers mate
The vinyl seems decent but Ive no previous experience with viynl to compare it to.

I cut out a template using tracing paper first and then transfered this onto the vinyl. Any bits which sat proud, I trimmed using a scalpel.

I was just wondering how everyone did there Vinyl wrapping ?
Im hoping to do my upper and lower bumper sections today and maybe my grille surround.

Ive just watched a demonstration video and the guy doing the wrap sprays water on the vinyl as hes doing it.... Did anyone off here do this ?

I didnt use any water but did use a hairdryer and a stiff card to squeeze the air bubbles out. How I did the rest is in the post above yours. Put some pics up when youre done and good luck.

Ok mate, was your reg plate screwed on or stuck on ?
Mines stuck on and Im now thinking when I peel it off Im going to have to clean aload of left over sticky tape stuff off.
I havent got anything to stick it back on with either.

 

[moggytom]

Mine was screwed but I only wrapped the bit you see not all the way behind ! Made it easier
