Title: Wrapping front lip and rear valance
Post by: bowie on December 21, 2009, 03:09:50 pm

So, I want to get the rear valance and front lip wrapped in either matt carbon or matt black as some of you have.  Few questions :
1. Did they have to remove the rear bumper to do it ?  I am assuming the front can be done in situ.
2. Anyone had any problems with peeling or other ? Wondering should I just get them painted ?
3. Costs - carbon , costs - matt black ?

I'm based in south Wales and have found a wrap company in Cardiff called Semaphore. Anyone used ?

Cheers in advance.

Chris.

Hi Bowie
i don't think they would need to remove the rear bumper to wrap it and if it is done correctly you should'nt have any problems with it peeling... :happy2:

i would definately wrap the rear valance and front lip rather than painting as you can always just have it taken off if you don't like it or you ever want to change the look your going for........ :drinking:

Just remember to post pics when you get it done..... :santa:
