I was thinking about the front splitter and mask as well, but had concerns about stone chips. How much was the front splitter if you remember? By the way it looks good with the Milltek.

Front splitter was £50 and had the Black grill masked wrapped aswell.

I have looked closely at the wraps for puntures from stone impacts and still there isnt any, seems to cushion any impacts very well.

The front and rear wraps look smart Steve. :happy2: How long did it take them to do the job?

All told , i would say around 2 hours in total with all things they wrapped.

I had the door shuts wrapped(front and Back doors) aswell as a freebee which ive since removed them with the addition of the gloss Huffs i brought.

Alex is a top bloke at Chameleon and you will pay about a third less than Racoon.  :happy2:

Did work on my R32, SteveP's car and Wigit's Scirocco.

Those Prices nathan are more expensive then raccoons.

It really depends Rob, what area you live to decide.

North= Leeds Raccoon
Midlands= Chameleon
South=Durley Raccoon

Each will do a quality job.

Well Racoon must have dropped their prices as Alex was keen to be able to do it cheaper?

^^^ Agreed, when I phoned Racoon they wanted over £200 for the front and rear splitter on mine in matt black vinyl compared to Alex's £80  :happy2:
