Are you getting the seat badge wrapped too? I always look at mine and wonder if I should get the grill done. One day I think yes another I think no. Looks good with the black and red theme, not sure on mine.

I think wrapping the "S" badge is a must, a good way to tie up your theme like and personalise the car, however the rear is a real b*tch lol

Sometimes I think it can look quite stealthy all black other times I think its nice to have the chrome badge to break it up. Im undecided.

I'm in the same mind I want people to know I drive a seat cause I'm proud haha

Did your mirrors turn out as well as the grille. Hope you watched how they did it all so you can do it yourself next time

I didn't mate and for £30 it ain't much really is it I got quoted £120 to be painted but as the vinyl wrap guy said one stone chip and I will want it redone where I can just pull it off

Eibach sport lines is the generally accept option I think, I DESPERATELY need some! but wheels need refurbing to gloss black first!

Could you not paint it yourself, or are you not that type of painter? Did they give any advice on what long term effect it will have on the paint underneath of you ever decided to take it off.

Vinyl wrap doesn't effect paint work at all, may leave a little sticky residue but will easily clean off

 

[Craiglar]

Just clean it with bug and tar remover
