Hi,

I keep looking for blue... Did you do them yourselves - if so assume wrapped? Nowhere sells this colour, at that price must be wrapped, just wondered what you used...?

Thanks

Hi mate I used this wrap from eBay and did it with a heat gun and some patience.

Started on painting the front calipers. Using the etech paint. Went for pure grey colour as didn't want nothing fancy.

Here are some before and after pics. Just put on 3rd coat and waiting for paint to settle.

Thanks - I'm being a bit ignorant here - do you apply to the existing trim whilst still on, or do you remove trim - wrap and apply back - if the latter what adhesive did you use when attaching trim back - though think the lower trim poss pops off? Apols is missing the obvious - ones like TransporterHq seems to just stick on existing trim.

Thanks

So the lower trim just pops off so i wrapped that and pushed it back on, the two on the grills are originally red ones from vanstyle which i stuck over the chrome ones, i heated them up pulled them off, wrapped them and stuck them back on with some double sided tape. likewise with the mirrors, i purchased some red ones from vanstyle and literally placed the blue wrap over them. If i was to re-do them i would do the same as the grill and pull them off and re-stick them.

Great kit. Same kit I used on my callipers in blue. Still got loads left too.

Fitted 985n tailgate struts, surprising how heavy the tailgate is, especially ids it’s loaded with Dynamat.
No problem with the tailgate going all the way up now.
