Right.

Firstly, plasitidipped the bottom of my bumper and got my pressed plates on:

Personally, I think plasitidip is **** for this sort of stuff. Especially if like us you try and mask - the tape removes the paint when its time to remove.

I'm thinking about getting it permanent with a bumper respray - thoughts?

Also, my springs are rusty? Is this normal:

Thanks to TangoMachine91 for the help!!!

Bumper and plates are looking top mate and your red is annoyingly red!

I've been thinking of doing the bottom bumper (partly because my is scraped- wasn't me) but I'm thinking of going more down the vinyl root, what do you think?

Cheers mate! Actualy, my bumpers have faded massively. Honestly they are pink next to the body (respray next month possibly though).

Vinyl looks good if done right, which it will be if you have patience (unlike me). Not sure about his on the link, suppose it suits if you do the bottom part too

Think plasitidip is absolutely **** and is overpriced, waste of time. Literally just walked into my door mirror and there's a hole where it's come off. Don't waste your time with that ****.

Im trying to make a decision - gloss mirrors, or matte?

This is matte



Also, gloss black bit on bumper, or matte like below?


I just can't decide if gloss looks cheap.

 

[FatherJack]

Matt.

 

[Sweex]

Definitely matt

 

[SJB1985]

Looks really good mate

 

[AgnessGP]

Matt.

I agree - matt to both bumper and mirrors?

I would yes lad, I don't like the gloss look on anything too shiny for me

Yeah can look cheap sometimes I reckon. Will go for matt then. Hopefully this spray job will turn out better than my handles

 

[mr and mrs tjet]

i think glossy for the mirrors looks much better imo

yeah they look spot on on yours, i just can't decide haha!

 

[Sweex]

yeah they look spot on on yours, i just can't decide haha!

I must agree? Gloss for the mirrors and matt for the bumper. But if you want it all to tie in then do it all matt. The bumper will only look good in gloss if its done professionally.

cheers there ent much else matt on the car so I think gloss will look better on yours, like the others are sayin though if you have matt mirrors and bumper it should look good

I'm with you on this one!

Also, when I see black matt it looks like you don't have body coloured mirrors and makes it look like a lower spec one :/ gloss black looks like a factory option

This is true i did mine satin matt black and thought yeah they just look plastic, so i lacquered

it will be done professionally mate. Having the bumper repsrayed so was gonna get this done too. I can't decide between matt and gloss for bumper now. I think i've decided gloss for mirrors, but the bumper?

I've seen some **** gloss paint jobs, but also some sweet ones. I do like the fact that matte can make it look like it's a plastic part of the bumper, similar to an abarth.

I just can't decide! help!

EDIT: but then the matte mirros may look good with the matte bumper. But gloss mirrors with gloss bumper? Too hard to choose.
