looks gorgeous mate
Why thank you :)
Very nice, not biased or anything but the cupra bumper is much better :) Are the bumper inserts black?
I agree ! Look so much more chunky and mean ! Not black mate , I carbon fiber wrapped some of it though then sprayed a light laquer layer , behind the plate and lower lip are wrapped
lol when some div nearly reversed in to me the other weekend after wards I thought oh could have got a cupra bumper lol!

Haha , hit me hit me !

Being darker than the original grey makes it look a lot better, suits the white real well.

Been contemplating wraping mine black, seeing yours has made my mind up ;)

Yeah i agree , I only put it on too touch the edges up and add abit of shine / darker colour its a really light coat but has done the job! What part you wanting back? Behind the plate? Mines a really neat job on the bottom lip and behind the plate i was very happy with it!

Definetely suits the Cupra bumper mate. :thumbup:. The carbon splitter and carbon vinyl on the bumper definetely suit the white and the black spoiler complements the white aswell.

Will look good with the yellow fogs. Really love this car, definetely one of my favourites!

Basically all the grey inserts front and back, never wrapped anything before so might be pushing my luck :happy:

Yellow fogs are super cool too, need to redo mine. Handy craft glass paint :D

Yeah they do look good when done , I've got black and white vinyl infront of me , Word of warning the black vinyl is harder too use than the carbon as its much thinner ! ... But behind the plate is so easy too do mate.. hardest part is takeing the insert / grill out and back in the bumper.. What a chew on that was..

Basically cut it too size with about 5 mm extra too overflow the edges.. flat the middle with a card so you have no bubbles then get a hair dryer and heat the edges,they will tuck down the sides perfect!

Then let the corners get a little overlap line and cut each one with a knife or your choice of weapon ;) , Then push the overlapped edges into the side they have heated around with a credit card too create a smooth edge .. Hope that makes sence? Any problem ask me and ill help you! atin
