Wrapping the front bits

[Lancashire Lad]

Hi all, has anyone wrapped the bit behind the number plate on a monsoon grey leon? Does it affect the parking sensors?

Parking sensors use Ultrasonic Sound Waves, wrapping over them should not affect them in anyway.

Oh good. I don't fancy doing it in this weather. Any idea what is the going rate to get that and the bottom bit of the bumper done?

I had my mk2 wrapped, and my mk 3 cupra wrapped to hide the screw holes from the larger plate. All fine.

However have heard some films have caused issues. Don’t know what, maybe the thicker chrome or carbon wraps, or with something extra in the material. The plain black shouldn’t be an issue.

If you’re near Preston I know someone who is really good but also cheap.

Yeah I imagine the metallic/ reflective type films might interfere slightly.

I had it done on my Ibiza and it cost me £40. This was at a local company where I knew the lads though. I wouldn't pay any more than £60 for a top job.

Or of course give it a shot yourself. £25 in vinyl wrap or £15 in PlastiDip and a Sunday afternoon.
