What did you and your MK2 do today?

[mattster]

I just brought a boot net from amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003SYNRR8/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
its a perfect fit and looks great too and has enough flexibility to hold down plenty of kit.

Tackled the steering wheel insert today. Not bad considering its only the second thing i've wrapped. Was a PITA around the lettering. The letters were already scuffed etc from the previous owner so was going to get a replacement so thought i'd test this out. But tempted to paint the lettering back in now.

Really happy with this wrap, looks so much better than the original bluey/green colour. Cant wait to do the radio surround etc.

Smee: I got it from car craft *cringes* as they offered the best partex for my old car. Not modified Yet. Would be good to know if it was someones car before so i could know more about the history.

Loving the brushed wrap, me thinks I need to buy some

Really happy with the outcome so far. Looks so much better in real especially in direct sunlight.

Just booked her in for the 15th to get the alloys refurb'd and recoated to antharite

Also this wrap stuff, is it not a pain in the arse to do? I'm so bad with fiddly stuff but the results are good!

 

[splinter26]

Well put it this way, those are the first two things i've ever wrapped. The bit at the base of the wheel i thought was going to be a nightmare but it was surprisingly ok, just time consuming around the lettering. Other than that it's surprisingly easy to apply. I wouldn't wrap an entire car yet but i know that the double din fascia etc is going to be really easy to do now.

Just get yourself a decent craft knife and a heat gun off amazon for £25 and you're sorted!

How's the coloured part below the number plate to do (below the grill)? I've always thought that would look awesome if it were black...

 

[splinter26]

Can't imagine it would be that difficult to do. Get it nice and clean and take your time to avoid fiddly bubbles.

One thing with this wrap is that you have to line it up due to the lines, unlike a flat black which can be done at a slight angle and look alright. So that's the only thing about a part like that is that you'd want to make sure it was parallel to the rest of the lines on the car. Would love to see the outcome.

Can't wait to get the lighter silver for my CUPRA lettering. May well just try it out with this stuff first though...

I could of got a hire car, but would have to pay a £60 waver fee which is not recoverable. Luckily I'm at work so it will save me on fuel costs traveling too and from.

Did they say u would get a c1/107 because when someone reversed into me they collected the car and said the courtesy car was on the way , i thought the same c1 / 107 / cinquento !! 15 mins later a brand spankin new bmw 320d mtech . To say i was relieved was a understatement and the beemer was better than my own car !!!

 

[Leesey]

They said it would be something like a c1/107, but they would try and sort something different because of the sort of car there taking in. Not to bothered, most important thing is they do a good repair on the car.

Luckily i managed to pretty much stop, so contact was very light, the dents in the wing will be the hardest thing about it, paint contact looks like it will mop out, and i might need a new wheel.
