Wonder if the chrome grill surrounds would look better wrapped in white? Or would it look odd, with white/carbon/white?
Just that the chrome kind of looks out of place now IMHO....

There are a couple of guys here who wrap cars and they reckon the hardest car they have ever wrapped was a Zed and the hardest bit was the facelift front bumper.

I didn't want to say anything u til you had finished. :D

What did you think was the hardest?

Yours has come out really well. You must be chuffed. :thumbsup:

Ps black grills with a white car.

Just to be clear - I'm talking about the front grill surrounds (chrome) not the actual fins - they're fine left black.

Agree with everyone regarding chrome grills think buying a pair of black ones will be the way forward , I used the carbon to hide a few imperfections in the wrap around the grill as it is great for covering with . As for the hardest but the front bumper was a huge pain but it's not in one solid piece probably took 8/10 hours to do
