Changing colour of optics...

Is the B8 as much of a nightmare to change the optic pack from silver to black as the B7 was???

Has anyone tried vinyl wrapping the optics instead of removing and painting?

Does vinyl shrink after application leaving unsightly silver edges???

Any first hand experience greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Steve

I am getting a guy in Perth who does window tinting/paint protection film and vinyl wrap to have a look and let me know what he thinks... He is a perfectionist so wont attempt it if he doesnt think it will be a good job...

Will let you know what he says...

I had mine wrapped round the windows,front and rear bumper sections etc cost around £80 looks spot on and saves alot of hassle,had it done about 6 months ago and its held up well.
