what did it cost you to get the grill wrapped?

Howdy, if your from Boro, then ideal for you! These lads did it for me ;

http://www.tintteam.co.uk/

Based in Middlesbrough, excellent service, waited whilst they did it - £30!!

Went for gloss black, but they can do anything you like...[B)]

Better picture...

Huge improvement over the chrome, especially with more and more FRs being on the road...

nice one :)

yes i like your motor - looks great.

Im sorry to say we're gonna be car twins :(

i pick my black FR up Thursday and i had already ordered the plate holders and deflectors before i saw your pictures.

I had a replacement black grill for my black Altea and i wasnt sure about doing it again on my new motor but having seen the pictures of yours im pretty much convinced. Plus if I wrap it I can take it off if it lives to be sold!

:p

LOL and here's me trying to be 'different' haha...regardless tho our cars will still be a little different to the 100/1000's bog standard Leons/FR's kicking about!

An yeah, heat gun, few mins - wrap removed. Cheaper and better than paint IMO.

Yours an ST or a hatch / 3DR???

Today was the day I went biking with the Leon for the time, no food or drink allowed inside so you can imagine how much it pained me to put a dirty mountain bike in the back! Many blessings to the Tarpaulin God for he was my saviour today
