i have painted the surround on mine red and soon going to get a professional to fit gloss black film exact to the seat badges front and rear. shud only cost a few quid because he just pays for the sheet of vinyl. Will get some pics when its done

dazwood why dont you just paint the black surround around the silver S badge on the back would look SO MUCH BETTER as too much colour coding looks silly sometimes!

LIKE THE BEING DIFFRENT IDEA THO AND I LIKE IT AS WELL!

:p it went alright when i did it i used really thin vinyl to do mine and it cut really easy try usin a hair dryer to warm it up its even easyer that way.Iv just removed the tdi of my engine cover and vinyled the shiney bit cause it looked odd as iv painted my engine cover my battery cover and my air box in gloss black so a bit of matt black splits it up a bit.

sorry if this a repeat, im looking to do mine like altech's as got red calipers and going for a red theme inside....does the silver S pop off, leaving you with the black surround...i presume you just mask the grill behind and spray with paint?
