Post by: candy turbo on March 30, 2009, 09:57:07 pm: will the wrap not just indent into the holes ? suppose i could glue some disc s into the holes then fill them , does gloss black wrap look like oem finish ?

Title: Re: front grill
Post by: candy turbo on March 31, 2009, 09:44:56 pm: think thats the way , does the carbon one just stick over the oem mask bit or can you seperate the honeycomb part from the rest ? i seen the red clips but thought they only held the red stripe ???
Title: Re: front grill
Post by: matt a on March 31, 2009, 09:45:59 pm: Im getting a spare wrapped.

The only seperate part of the grille is the badges and the red stripe as mentioned. Carbon does stick on but Im sure the TT shop could do a proper job.
