Cheers Mat! My original plan was to have the centre section of both the edition 30 front and rear bumpers painted matt black to match with the side skirts. Before I could speak with the body shop they have already made a start, so decided to go with it.

looks mint mate  :happy2:   you can always get the sections of the bumpers vinyl wrapped remember

I honestly thought it would look wank, but that is fantastic, is it painted or wrapped?
May be tempted to try it on my reflex silver one if I keep looking at those pics!

Get it wrapped, if it doesn't look right you can take it off rather than respraying. Should look good though  :happy2:

Thinking of similar to Big al on my reflex silver. Whats the cost of vinyl wrapping? Who does it ? Can it be done yourself?

Thanks for the comments.

I am happy with the result, personally much perfer subtle changes,.. that I think enhance the car, and tbh the average person probably wouldn't even notice.

It looks very good from an upstairs window  :happy2:

When time allows I will wash and polish the car, and get some much better pics posted as the existing ones don't really do it justice.

Thanks all

Have a go at that yourself mate, takes about 30 minutes, and the wrap is only about £12 off ebay.
I have some small pieces and practice wrapping things with it, got my phone wrapped that I did myself so feel confident to go for bigger things now.
