Styling My GP's Vinyl Grille

[Percyhahn]

iv been wanting to vinyl my grille for a while, and finally got some vinyl for her. behind the number plate when i first took it off was some unsticky sticky pads, so picked them off, washed the area, then took my time applying the vinyl, with no bubbles in. what does everyone think? its the first time iv seen a gp this colour with it on. i have some black spray for the top grille to, but at the moment undecided.

PS sorry for bad quality, took the pics off my phone

Looks very gd it goes nice with the colour and the black lights. Is that a Seat Leon splitter you have on ?

I think it would look better with the grille sprayed, get it done

I think i will spray it .i couldn't get the grille off, and me and my brother were tugging it hard. I got worried when the bumper started bending and i could hear a creaking .
im not sure i fancy the alternative of masking all the surrounding areas to spray it though. il have a play tommorow, see what i can do

It will just take force, when me and another guy were pulling out my normal grille it was creaking and flexing the plastic but it eventually came out.

I think you should spray it as well, will definitely look better

My original top grille just popped out easy, although after I put an fk one in and went to take it out it was well stuck.

i want mine done please.

 

[Percyhahn]

thanks, I'll have a tug tomorrow, and hope she will budge.
flint- if you need a hand doing it, and your ever down Peterborough way, let me know, I can help you do it if you want. its only an hours job at most.

Opposite for me, the standard one was a right bitch to get out but now with the FK it just comes out easy.

yeah sure, just pm me about when your over and that, il give you my number, and we can sort it out .
next for me is the back lights, like DLightSwitch has got. they look great on his car . would you recommend smoking them, or fly eyes, or anything else instead?

Lol I meant other ways of tinting rear lights. I will tint my back windows though, I'm not sure about black alloys, not thought of them yet,

Lamin-x, fly eye kit, or tinting spray.

I think the tinting spray looks best if its done absolutely perfect, that can be tricky though.
