Pics of the "yes or no opinions please" post

Right, well as you've probably guessed I went ahead with vinyling the front bumper and in my opinion, it looks great. I've only got night time pics atm coz it took all day to get it right lol.

Again all feedback is welcome.

Before and after pics below

Re: Pics of the "yes or no opinions please" post

Thanks. I've been planning to do it for a while.

I painted the calipers with Red Hammerite, its gone rock solid and the brake dust (when there is any) just wipes straight off, non gets stuck on.

Re: Pics of the "yes or no opinions please" post

looks good, where you get the vinyl from? was it already cut to size? would look good if u maybe had some chrome detailing round the grills against the black, i decided to do that when i took the mesh out and put my grills back.

Looks good with the black vinyl. One question is how did you paint the letters on your calipers?

Re: Pics of the "yes or no opinions please" post

Heya lads, cheers for all your input.

The calipers were easy to do, literally take the wheels off and paint it with a brush, it took 2 coats to make it smooth.
Pics below.

The lettering is high adhesive stickers bought off ebay - Really good buy as they can stick anywhere on the car (Pictures to come shortly of all the spots i have them)

The vinyl, no it wasn't precut unfortunately got it in a nice big reel of about 5x4, had to cut it to shape, make sure there was no bubbles, pain in the ass really - but in my opinion worth it.

Cheers, Tom
