The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

You are either very mad or very bored. Impressive though.
Is this a new kind of DIY wrap? Sorry if I have completely missed the point (if there is one).  :smiley:

The only other car I have seen with that much tape on it was (originally) an orange McLaren F1 LM. It was prepped to do some testing on the high speed circuit at MIRA and I guess they didn't want stone chips.

An Audi s4 avant followed me through the Dartford tunnel the other night and I wondered what weird coloured wrap it had on it,  then it past me and the whole front end and front of the roof had green detailing/masking tape on. I can understand doing shut lines etc when doing 1/4 miles but this was like the mk5 at the top, stupid if you ask me

the purpose of it is to prevent stone chips on long journeys down the motorway....i wouldnt say its stupid if you ask me...id say its taking care of your paintwork.

Wouldn't buying a bra be easier in the long run than faffing about with tape

Bra's can cause problems.
