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

dont like it sorry, but like the white stripes on the side?

lol thanks, they took just as long to do.

looks awesome in my opinion mate. good job. some better daylight pics tomorrow if you can!

im talkign about the black vinyl really. also, what calliper paint you use?

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.

Absolutely fantastic like that look a lot the white stripes on the side are a nice touch as well.

Thanx very much, glad you like it.

I'll have some good day pictures up of it 2moz

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?

It actually looks pretty cool mate, I like it. Love the painted calipers, was it hard to do?

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

Seriously, thanks for all your comments, makes it seem all that bit better, took some pics this morning when i went out on a test run. 2moz, or maybe later i'll take some more for you all.

I know some of you were a bit unsure if it would end up looking like a golf GTI so... pictures are to follow of the twins together
