Guys,
What's a carbon wrapped MK5 GTI rear bumper look like around the Diffuser section?
I've seen a few Ed30's but not on the STD GTI bumper. I might do this myself.
How much wrap would i need to do this? :smiley:
Thanks,
Pete.
-
You would need to get it painted first or sanded smooth. :happy2:
-
Indeed TC, this would be after colour coding. I'd get the diffuser area sanded before applying :smiley:
-
It sticks better to paint so i would just get the lot coded and then apply it to the paint. I dont think i have seen it done before on a original bumper. :happy2:
-
This was exactly what i was thinking, have done a quick pshop and i like what im seeing! thinking of doing it myself as i have used carbon before and do this kind of thing for my job!
could even sell them if all goes well! :smiley:
-
then get planning thr r32 verson buddy....... orderly queue behind me :jumping:

hello fella,
here is a very rough and ready p'shop i did this morning, can do a better one in a different colour if required (if i get more than 5 mins free haha). I will be doing my own splitter in the next couple of weeks so if you are interested i can let you know how it goes.

poop :signLOL:
seriously dont do it, r32 will work better but pretty expensive mod

lol - I think I'll just colour code and leave the diffuser part black, as it is.
I think you could be right, would only suit ED30's and R32's.

Perhaps put an Ed30 rear bumper on and have this.....

:happy2: That looks lovely!
I may have mine done but won't be as effective on a black car :sad1:
May have it done matte titanium like my front splitter but not sure how it would look......
Anyone able to do a quick photocop in matte titanium for me please? (sorry for the thread hijack!) but may help in developing ideas! :happy2:

If you have a pic of the colour it would be easier to do and better results for you! :happy2:

Not the best as it was really quick and im new to PS :signLOL: :ashamed:
Hope it gives you an idea though! :happy2:
-
Thanks Ollie - that doesn't look too bad! :happy2:
Any chance of doing that in the CF or don't you think it would show up much?
-
ermm Im not to sure how to do CF on PS tbh! :ashamed:
Im sure a proper photo shopper will appear to do that!
'Que VC'
I think it would look quite good. If you have a look in plush-automotive build thread he has cf mirrors and bonnet so you can see the cf against the black to help you decide! :happy2:
-
Cheers Ollie - I will have a look. :smiley:
-
SKAVIA, you need a Milltek to fill that tunnel at the back!! :wink:
Agree, that doesnt look to bad at all :happy2:
-
Yep totally agree Steve - that's why I'm buying Monks full decat system once it's off his car :evilgrin:
Hope it looks as good as yours! :happy2:
-
Does anyone know where you can get ed 30 rear bumper from? i will be doing some carbon wrapping either way...

That looks very very tidy Ollie.
I couldn't do that however as my car is steel grey, so it'll have to stay black. I don't think I'll do the wrap idea and maybe have it pained black instead :smiley: Good PS though :happy2:

Like so?:

instead of wraping it would it not be better getting a carbon fibre one you can pick one up off fleebay for 160 from hong kong and its jus the same as you buy in this country for double the price

I'm going to wrap mine. I've had it colour coded and painted, ive had the 3m vinyl for over two months, just not had chance to do it yet!

Not a bad shout at all although, personally I want to keep the car as OEM as possible. I want to avoid changing the bumper at all costs and I'll just tinker with the one I've got :smiley:
You're right, would probably look very good though but I expect it'll be £250+ once painted & wrapped.Edit - read original post! :ashamed:

:happy2:
Topman, that looks the biz :happy2: I think that's what I'm going for ultimately. It's just having the cash to do all of this phase by phase. Cheers fella.

like that alot, abit different, im going to do a carbon fibre replacement for mine, think it will look awesome on a red car! i will let you know how i get on, as i will be making a tool for one!

How much did you buy Jay? What's like a stock size of 3M that'll cover it?
Thanks bud :happy2:
-
your better off using someone like carmelion mate, i bought about 60 quids worth and i only had enough for the front grill!
-
i asked them for a sample of matte black and they vertually sent me the whole role for free, managed to do my splitter twice!! HAHA
