Post by: big al on June 07, 2011, 03:03:06 pm: I would do it black vinyl.
Not a fan at all of the fake carbon wrap look, just looks cheap and nothing like real carbon.

Post by: Saint Steve on June 07, 2011, 06:27:42 pm: You might have issues getting the Gloss wrap to stick to the black plastic on your lower bumper...

Mine is Painted being an Ed30, so isnt a problem..... Red with black gloss extra's looks good and a great combination imo..

God help you if you don't like it. At lease you can remove the wrap as a last resort.

My thoughts exactly

I would definitely be looking at gloss black although I like the carbon, black just looks classy, go for a wrap first and if you like it then you could get it sprayed.....the ED30 with the red/black combination looks stunning imo. :happy2:

Had a bit of wrapping done on my lunch :innocent:

Only a bit for now. When my magnets arrive its velcro off and wrap the section behind the number plate gloss black too :party:
