    How to vinyl wrap grill?

    It's easy buddy! Measure wrap out and stick it on!! Place it with a slight, 1mm overlap at top of the bar. Run your finger nail along this bit and it will tuck under the little overhang. At the slight curve in the middle of the bar, use a hair dryer to heat it and you can manipulate the wrap to stretch and bend it round. At the ends, trim and again heat. You can then tuck these in with something small and sharp. At the bottom of the bar just fold it under and it will stick. Job done!!!





    My mates car that I wrapped a few weeks ago!

    It's the 3M Carbon wrap. It's not Matt but not overly shiny!

      It's probably been asked a thousand times, but where is the best place to get the wrap from?.....ive looked on ebay but some looks naff on there, and you dont know if its genuine 3M stuff.

                            How the hell you guys managed this wrapping in situ i'll never know!



                            I attempted to do mine earlier and although it seemed to stick well and if i made a mistake it was heated and re-stuck etc....when it came to trimming it was just a never ending disaster....underneath being wonky, i couldnt get the corners right at all, and when i trimmed the top edge it always showed a chrome gap...i even slipped with my knife and marked the black plastic!!!! Grr



                            It's definitely going to have to be done off the car now!
