Knocked up a quick video at the weekend, whilst out for a drive.
Not amazing quality (just shot with my phone), but gives an idea of what it looks/sounds like.

The wrap looks great Nick!

Especially how it flips from black to purple depending on the light

Thanks Faisal!
A few more bits to sort out on the exterior (incl. the reg plates), but interior and engine bay are next on the list...

Nice colour choice! Looks really good.

Thanks guys.

Managed to make a bit of progress on the front number plate area.

How it looked when I picked it up on Friday: :drink:

With the plate holder removed, there was a lot of junk:

Cleaned up the core areas as best I could (with limited time/products):

Bit better but not great:

Then wrapped the outer edges to mask the holes/scratches:

Still in 2 minds about it, but it will do for now until I either change the grill altogether, or else come up with a different solution (e.g. going back to a standard size plate!)
On the plus side, though, I should get better airflow to the radiator(s) now :D
