Wrap front lip. Help, comments advice pls.
« on: July 05, 2011, 11:04:40 am »
Hi All

Thinking about having the front lip wrapped. Don't think I have the skills to have a go myself.

Just wondering if there is anywhere in west Yorkshire recommended. Also wondering what to ask for Di-Noc etc and anyone got an idea of price.

Cheers.

Not sure of any professional places, but give it a go anyway, I managed to wrap my front grille and it was pretty easy, practice on a couple of small parts, I did a VW badge, and then the back of my iphone and I got the hang of it after that.
Don't have the confidence to do the bonnet/roof or anything like that though.

I'm getting my front lip and the rear diffuser carbon wrapped by company Totally Dynamic for £130. They've got quite a few franchises but not sure about your area?

I'm going for the textured carbon fibre, looks good on their website gallery shots  :smiley:

The front lip on my ED30 seems to be prone to stone chips so this will help protect and I like the contrast of the wrap on the rear bumper to help break up the colour coding.

I got quoted £310 for a matt black wrap for my front upper grille, wing mirrors and b pillars! I actually burst out laughing!  :rolleye:

There is one almost walking distance from me. Just googled them.
Think it is a trip down tomoz. Hopefully they don't have a laugh at just the front lip  :grin:
Please let me know how you get on.  :happy2:

In my opinion, the font of the spliiter and rear splitter should be wrapped or black anyway!

My Grille, friend did it for me :)

Soon to be replaced with a real carbon fibre one though, so mine will be up for sale :)



I Think splitters are quite shapely should be alot harder to do me thinks?
