To be fair it was a nice day to clean cars! Seems a few of you have been getting your hands dirty!

Took the front grill off and re wrapped it in the same black carbon fibre. Bit happier with it now
Is it easy to do? And did you use just one bit with no joins?
Yeah, it is fairly easy & yes I used one sheet of 3M carbon fibre wrap.
Remove Grill
Detach chrome surround from the rest of the grill - carefully as not to damage the clips that hold it in
place chrome grill on the wrap & then, using a heat gun (or hairdryer in my case), heat up the wrap so it stretches and smooth into place, (i was sent a little smoothing tool with the wrap) taking care & going very slowly to take out any creases or air bubbles.
You can be quite forceful if using a quality wrap as its designed to stretch.
once done, clip everyting back together & fit grill back to car
took me about an hour start to finish
EDIT:
i used this wrap, bought off Ebay, 1 50cm x 50cm sheet:

229.6 bhp and 320 lb/ft on stage 2, I made 218.8 bhp on sharks rollers wednesday.
Took it to get washed,got it home
And polished it because the people at the car wash done a shite job.
Then fitted some more led reg plate lights.
Let's see how long it is before these go pop!

Yeh i thought you would make more, The AMD one are known to give better readings
My Stage2 map made 216 on sharks, My Stage2+ map made 228 on sharks so would be closer to 240 on AMD's
Smee, your car looks well nice now all nice and clean..
Filled up my tank to the brim 535miles on the MFD, after a 165mile motorway run to Manc Airport it says 515miles left and only used an 1/8th of the tank. Not bad tbh lol
Now Midland VW tomorrow and Heathrow airport on Tuesday, lets see how the fuel holds out lol

Thanks buddy so kind,it took me a while to find them but these are the ones I have on mine, only thing is the fixing are rubbish

They look good i might try them out, gotta figure out wheres best on a standard bumper to fit them
Send me a pic mine is a standard bumper for the fr it is a fl, or post one up.
Just found a pic of your bumper I would try at the angle or along the bottom like I have done
Jay,
Id be mounting them vertically, in the central black lower grill, one at either end, you can use the lip of the bumper as a mounting point as the black grills sit a bit further in
