How Much Wrap For...
« on: February 27, 2010, 10:12:35 pm »
How much 3M vinyl would I need to wrap the rear diffuser area on a standard GTI bumper?

I dimensioned up earlier in the dark with a torch and it seemed that general surface area is about 154 x 25cm in total.
So presumably 3M wrap in a 240x120cm size will more than cover it?

£50.00 cheaper however is the 150x120cm size but I think that'd be pushing it, anyone?  :confused:

Thanks  :happy2:
Pete

I'd go for the bigger size as it will allow you to do other parts to colour code :happy2:

I bought some the other week 1350x270mm for £14.99, but its seems to have gone up now to £17.99. It is really great quality 3M DI-NOC vinyl.

Does anyone know the best way to fit it?
 
Does the rear bumper come off really easy?

Can I just take off the diffuser, or is it the whole rear bumper?

Thanks,  :smiley:

Greenouse the diffuser on the my Ed30 is painted so should stick fine.

On the ED30 I believe it is all one piece unlike the R32 with removable valance.  :happy2:

It is all one piece, and I was referring to the OP when I said about it sticking Monte!  :wink:

As long as you get rid of the texture you should be ok, but a layer of primer would seal the deal!  :happy2:
