I'm sorely tempted to investigate.

Completely agree - some of them are awful!!

I can't stand the matt ones, it looks so sh!te!

Definitely going for gloss and lining up with the front grille!  :smiley: :smiley:

i was going to do it but after putting a bit on the front to have a look at it we all thought it was a little overkill but it did look good but not for my everyday/family car  :wink:

Yeah, I do sometimes worry that it's going to make the car stand out that little bit 'too' much...... i.e. making it an obvious target for vandalism. Dunno!

Yeah I'll get them to hold some vinyl there, to see what it would look like.

You can never really tell just from a photograph can you..!  :smiley:

Hard one to get right, you would think its a no brainer keep it in line with the grille but when you see it an inch past the bonnet crease thats not right either.

Look at this bad boy !!!

Your not one for jumping into decisions are you Chris  :signLOL:

This is just the start of his decision making, he has still to visit the factory in Switzerland where they make the vinyl, then once he has decided on the colour and style he has to then move in with the family of the chap who is fitting it. Only then will the job go ahead.  :signIWS:

Were looking at July before we see it on the car.  :P
