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?

Thanks,
Pete.

You would need to get it painted first or sanded smooth.

Indeed TC, this would be after colour coding. I'd get the diffuser area sanded before applying

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.

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.

Guys,

What's a carbon wrapped MK5 GTI rear bumper look like around the Diffuser section?

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.....

That looks lovely!
I may have mine done but won't be as effective on a black car

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!

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