Finally got my Carbon Fibre around my grille I've been ranting on about for ages. Tell me what you guy's think
Can't see the carbon pattern much, I'll get my bro's camera out soon for you all!

It's custom made. I don't think you can get the surround for it unlike the Golf's as the bumper is just all one piece.

Yeah it's a decal. Looks a feels like it though
All I need to do now is laminate it and it will look like the proper stuff. Altogether it's gonna cost me £300+ Had a quote on the proper stuff and it was £500

£195 to get it all on with the shape moulded and stuff. And then I need to get it laminated... Maybe around another £80. Dear stuff, but like you said yours is already black so it's not much of a difference there, where as mine was all reflex silver and made such a difference.
