Completely Camo Wrapped GTI would be immense!

Yeah its a bit mental but it would get a lot of attention
Not sure on Vinyl wrapped cars though, they look good but I just dont see it lasting very long

Cant beat a proper paint job :)

Should look good when you make it up mate, at first I thought you were just going to keep the card template there lol

I would do it crinkle red mate or wrap it in Camo :wink:

Yeah I thought it was meant to say that..... Ha, should look good once done, iv hated that part of the bay for ages.

Ideally I want to make covers for the whole bay, il do that in the warm weather I think...

what paint did you use on the inlet manifold mate? Is it a special heat resistant paint/coating?

It's high temperature exhaust paint mate, easily deals with the temperatures and goes a nice satin/Matt finish.....

I also finished my aliminium bracket cover today and I gave it a coat of wrinkle finish.
