I am due to collect the car from the bodyshop on Friday, just hope I made the right decision with going for the gloss black roof!!!!!
Oh and the edition 30 front and rear bumpers...........
Can't wait to see it!!!
-
make sure you put up some pics, as im hoping to do this, (its on my mod list) along with black wing mirrors :)

Definitely do some pic whoring Lee :happy2:
The bumpers will look good for sure.
What colour is your car? Is the Roof wrapped in gloss or painted in gloss?
-
I shall do Tom, My car is Grey with privacy rear glass so hoping it's going to be subtle!!
Oh and I forgot to mention I've ordered the Matt Black VW grill emblem today just to finish it off.
-
Pete,
It's going to be painted gloss black. I have asked they paint upto the roof gutter edge (top edge) and also the top of the tailgate however leaving the spoiler as it is.
Just hope it's the right decision!!
-
mmmmmmm really need pics for this :party: i think it will look great
-
I bloody hope so :wink:
-

Hi Guys,
It's been a while, and these are not the best pics however what with the weather and work I haven't the time to get any better ones.
I welcome your thoughts and comments !!

I like it :drool: looks great on a grey car :smiley:
-
Cheers Mat! My original plan was to have the centre section of both the edition 30 front and rear bumpers painted matt black to match with the side skirts. Before I could speak with the body shop they have already made a start, so decided to go with it.

looks mint mate :happy2: you can always get the sections of the bumpers vinyl wrapped remember
-
Me likes :laugh: I thought about doing my roof but bottled it :scared:
-
I honestly thought it would look wank, but that is fantastic, is it painted or wrapped?
May be tempted to try it on my reflex silver one if I keep looking at those pics!
-
Go for it Big Al , then I see exactly what it looks like :happy2:
-
:happy2: Looks really nice!
-

x2 have a reflex silver and undecided whether to go for gloss black or 3m carbon fibre..was contemplating the roof/side mirrors rear vortex insert and front lip spoiler...any suggestions would be welcome..

Get it wrapped, if it doesn't look right you can take it off rather than respraying. Should look good though :happy2:
-
Thinking of similar to Big al on my reflex silver. Whats the cost of vinyl wrapping? Who does it ? Can it be done yourself?
-
:notworthy: that looks mint mate!! I have steel grey myself loving the black with grey looks good. May look into getting mine wrapped, see how much costs. I think you have started something mate! :happy2:
-
Thanks for the comments.
I am happy with the result, personally much perfer subtle changes,.. that I think enhance the car, and tbh the average person probably wouldn't even notice.
It looks very good from an upstairs window :happy2:
When time allows I will wash and polish the car, and get some much better pics posted as the existing ones don't really do it justice.
Thanks all
-
I'm hoping to get it done from a franchise of Totally Dynamic..
-

Have a go at that yourself mate, takes about 30 minutes, and the wrap is only about £12 off ebay.
I have some small pieces and practice wrapping things with it, got my phone wrapped that I did myself so feel confident to go for bigger things now.

I may give bumper ago mate, already done front badge little tester, aint done bad job, just stanley and paint work dont go well together need steady hand :scared: going get some quotes today get roof done dont fancy doing that myself, see what sort price looking at. When getting car wrapped is it kind on the paint work????
