Excellent thanks
-
Rich, I started the thead about this last week, to which you replied you might start doing it becuse you had people waiting. Im currently coming to the end of a 6 month Afghanistan tour and I return to the UK on 19 March. I will pay of course but if I send you my badge will you put me on your list? Cheers in advance.

me thinks youre gunna be a busy bunny Rich :laugh: :grin:

Hi Rich,
Do you do wing mirrors too?! If so let me know how much you want for doing them.
I'm getting some 3m Brushed Alu Vinyl for the mirrors & also thinking about getting the front badge done in it to try something different :laugh:
:happy2:
-
Rich, I'd be interested in my mirrors and rear badge.
-
I've got someone sending me some door mirror covers, so let me see how hard/easy it is and I'll get back to you.

I believe it's been done. My car is many miles away. Will get a snap when I can :happy2:
-
Is there no other pics online mike?
-
Can you do the radio/cd trim ??
-
Good luck with the wrapping, had a go and not a great idea on the mirrors, bloody hard. Was going to wrap front splitter and rear lower valance but have decided to let the pro's do it. Seen the C/F emblem for sale on fleebay for £135, yes that's £135!! :happy2:
-
Did anyone who I PM send me anything yet? Had nothing in the post. :-/
-
Need any other parts!

Ace andy... thanks mate.
-
I owe you the thanks Rich :notworthy:
-
Rich, As I posted earlier I am in Afghanistan until Monday. I could get the missus to post a badge to you. Would you be able to do it for a price? If so mate I will get her to post it to you tomorrow, I just need your address pal. Cheers. Mark.
-
Have you tried the 1080 series 3M Carbon vinyl Rich?
It is much easier to form around complex objects and has a gloss finish too.
-
Thanks for the tip off get some Hurdy, the normal 3m stuff is quite stiff once its cool
-
Hey Richwig, did you ever move to Hemel Hempstead?
I'm there and quite fancied getting my badge done in a carbon wrap sometime if you could help me out?
Cheers, Andy.
-
Sure did Andy... :happy2: drop me a PM
-
Hey Rich, thanks for totally ignoring my post twice now. I will look elsewhere. I honestly thought that this forum was to help other GTI owners. I must be wrong.

Well... that 3M vinyl is a bitch. Its too thick for wrapping these front badges really.
-
Thats how i found it when i did mine. It was really awkward in the corners of the badge.
That one you've done looks decent to me. What do you use as a heat source?
-
Gas hob... :signLOL: I need to buy a proper heat gun
-

:scared: I can imagine that being quite tricky ha ha!!!! You're gonna struggle to wrap a bonnet using that method :signLOL:
I used my Misses' Hairdryer - but the bloody thing kept over heating and cutting out!
-
If you thought that was difficult Rich, try doing a Polo VW badge. :sad1:
-
I could have a bash, but couldn't promise anything. :signLOL:

But you have sold the gas hob now :grin:

Not happy with it so wrapping wing mirrors is currently off the list.
-
Rich,
Have you done the rear badge? I have a 3d badge so should just come apart. though can't find any guides etc. Have the vinyl to do it, just not the know how from get the badge separated.
Cheers
-
No i havnt mate.

Looks ok from the pictures. Did it prove to be quite a (insert swear word) to do?
-
Yes.... It's a pig. I'll have another go next week. Need to get some wider wrap. If you can wrap one of these mirrors you can wrap anything.
-
Thanks for persevering :happy2:
I did think the front bit of the mirror would be a right git to do! Frustration would definitely of got the better of me attempting that :signLOL:
-
Yes it is, it's that bits which surround the actual mirror which are a pig because it's got to be done with one piece of wrap. One more go and then I will admit defeat.
-
Wrapped my emblems a couple of weeks ago and have now noticed some crinkling around the edge. Have I pulled/ stretched the vinyl too much or may I have applied to much heat (or both). Will not be beaten though and will go again later. Cheers :happy2:
-
Both badge and mirror look fine to me , I'd love to have mine done. Those genuine CF Mirror caps are far too rich for me!
-
How did you get on in the end Rich?
