She still scrubs up quite well.
Time to get the 'black optics' redone. Probably going to try vinyl wrap, this time around, rather than paint or 'liquid wrap'.ImageImage

That would look a lot better without the shiny bit on the rims. Still looks pretty good though. The splitter doesn't offend my eye.

That's not a cupra splitter, though, is it?

Golf, do you know what those wheels are?

Nice, clean, elegantly simple lines to that splitter (well, apart from what I presume to be a front camera / laser 'garage door opener', in the middle).

Image I've got one of those spitters fitted to mine well made but there's no"give" in it so it will shatter in to a million bits if you hit something with it

I've been thinking about this for mine as I already have the black grill. I've been quoted £400 to have all the necessary trim wrapped in a satin black.

Only thing that concerns me is the roof bars as I have no idea how they can wrap them without seeing some sort of seam somewhere. Obviously not a problem on yours but would be interesting to see how your quotes compare to mine.
