So today there was nothing on a work, I have decided to wrap my rear valance in Matt black.
It came off so easy just had to watch the parking sensors

Removed my number plate

Then unscrewed the torx at the bottom and push my parking sensors out

Disconnect parking sensors

Then got to work prising it apart from the rear bottom, The bumper does look like it comes with it haha

Is that a matt black? Gloss would have been the right choice. Agree with you it still looks like it did before lol. But at least you had a go at wrapping it so next time should be easier. Wann see them door sill protectors mate, they look good.

I know all that time for nothing but only reason glossy black wouldn't go as my car is like a purple black :/

After refitting my valance I haven't liked it at all Matt black doesn't stand out only looks the same but smooth but no one walks up and strokes your car do they haha.

So been looking at the cupra r diffuser and I am really liking that so today I purchased the exhaust. It will be upgraded when I go stage 2 but for now I am happy :)
