some pics would be brutal....

[yayjohnny]

Looks pretty good! btw the link direct picture link doesn't work.
From afar, looks pretty grey :P but up close it looks gud

[Tooney]

ehhh its ok. looks good but trunk trim is out of place, and grill is out of place with your color matched rings...color match your trunk trim and do the rings and you might have something going or just color match it all and your golden

[Macdoon]

Thanks for the input guys, the pics don't really do it justice, tried painting the grille trim, but didnt take long for it to get stone chipped grrr. Fusion what did you do to get my pics up (my first attempt at pics) dont know why it didnt work or me.

I like it, like said it can come together a tad bit better but other than that looks great.

I would have much preerred to do the rings in carbon, but what a nightmare so fiddley lol, ive got a spare set of rings so i'm gonna have another go

Go for it, would you go Anthracite or black carbon

i like the trunk trim (something I want to get done in carbon), but the grill doesnt do it for me..it blends in way to much, maybe it's the color of the car?

I like the concept!

I looked at it from a fair distance today, im not 100% sure whether i should keep the grille surround wrapped, as you say it blends too much especially with the colour coded rings, im wondering if a black surround would go better grrrrr lol

I like!! Good job!

[jimrobbington]

Looks nice! Is it fabric or vinyl? Is it silvery? Oh, and your car is backwards mate.

[combsatl]

Wow, that looks very nice. Did you do it yourself or buy it that way?

[quattro47]

He states it was his attempt ^^ Looks great man! How did you wrap the grille so well? DIY!

[Heavy Fluid]

That does look pretty damn good. I am really liking the exterior stuff that you did.

[AudiTFSI3o3]

That does look pretty damn good. I am really liking the exterior stuff that you did.

my exact thought.

OP, great job [up]

[thomas_lad]

that looks brilliant mate, great look with the silver cf instead of black! do you have a link to the stuff you used?

[Koby]

Looks great, you did a really good job and bringing it to the exterior was a great idea. Stand by for copycats...

[streetsoffire]

.......Looks professionally done.......and the outside bits are nice and subtle.

[SDA4]

Looks great!

rhd looks odd!

[Macdoon]

Yep certainly was DIY. It is Vinyl Anthracite carbon wrap. The front grille took the longest due the curves and being smaller at the bottom than the top. Easier to do than I thought, just really a case of taking my time (probably a lot slower than most would be lol),I bought it on a roll 1m x 1.3m for £40 from a local Graphics Design place, absolute bargain.

[arce909]

Looks good mate!

[kaklexicon]

This thread just inspired me to finish my trim. I did this a few months ago on my shifter surround area, debating whether or not to do the rest of the trim. I have beige interior so I wasn't sure how it would look.. but ef it i'm going for it!

[jimrobbington]

I like the vinyl look better than the fabric. The fabric glue just didn't hold well enough to my liking, but the vinyl adhesive I'm sure holds much better. I want some of this stuff now.

[Macdoon]

I have to admit I was 100% sure at first, but now it's done it does put a big grin on my face, thanks for the comments guys.

[Schmaud]

Thumbs up.

[B72.0T]

Damn that looks really good, good job on that!

[b7kevin]

Nice man! Neat photoshop of the right hand :P

[mauismile]

That looks really Good!! Great Job!!

[Übermensch]

looks good [up]

[Stewy]

Well done man, looks awesome.

[4RingRook]

Like all the rest, I think it came out really well man. Good job [up]

[GQ//S4]

I honestly came in here expecting to hate it, but that turned out damn good! Well done!

[A 4 Awesome]

Great Job!!! That grill looks real good with the carbon wrap. Very OEM+!!!!

[[email protected].]

that interior looks sick! nice work.

[thomas_lad]

His steering wheel is on the RIGHT side lol

[Quattro]

didnt you post this before?

still looks good

[Mister W]

Look's good mate, do you spray water under the vinyl and squeeze it out like decals and tint windows, or you just stick it one shoot deal trying not to make mistake?

[Mister W]

Oh, and your car is backwards mate.

Maybe it is, but the RNS-E look's it was made for this side, the knob is closer. Maybe we are on the wrong side !!! (this is where i wake up screaming) ;)

Quick clean of areas, then straight on (at tortoise speed LOL)
