Title: Wrap for front & rear badges
Post by: Kalpsn2000 on May 29, 2012, 02:34:13 pm

I'm thinking of wraping my front and rear badges and was looking at a few options.

1st choice is gloss black. What's the best brand/place to get it? (can't see any 3M stuff)

2nd choice is carbon fibre. I know the 3M stuff is recommended but would you go for matt or glossy?

Thanks

Has nobody wrapped their badge in gloss black vinyl?

If you want it done in CF 3M Dinoc i can sort you out with a piece.  :happy2:

If you want gloss black then i would spray it.

Painted badges are prone to chipping right?

^^^^ as above, get the front one from eBay.

Rear one you will have to wrap, don't seem to be able to get a black one otherwise.
Bought some Gloss black from eBay for about £5, does the job.

Front  (bought one)

Thanks for the replies :happy2:

I have got that front badge on my watch list so will most likely go for that. Did ask the seller if he does a rear one, he does but only for the Jetta.

Think I’ll just get some wrap off the bay for the rear.
