Gringosteve 213 Report post Posted July 28, 2015 Hi I am thinking of wrapping the unpainted section of the rear bumper in 3d carbon wrap. I haven't attempted wrapping before and wondered if anyone else had tried this section. The plastic on my car has a slight scuff and figured matt black carbon effect could look better than the OEM grey fake carbon?

Keethos 842 Report post Posted July 28, 2015 From what little wrapping I've been doing, I'd hate to tackle that, it's guna be a major ballache as it's so low down, get it lifted and it won't be too bad but you might struggle to get a decent edge around the areas between the coloured area and the none coloured area of the bumper as I believe that it's all one piece so you won't be able to wrap around and tuck the wrap away, instead you'll have to try and trim it neatly and hope it doesn't start to lift as dirt etc gets in there. That and you'll have to have a mega clean area to work on and even then it might not adhere very well as the plastic is textured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gringosteve 213 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 I had wondered about how feasible it would be to apply. Will have a chat with Phill. Thanks both _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smudge 1020 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 You mean the diffuser? Sod that, the texture will make it difficult not to even mention the shape Carbon wrap just looks crap as well in my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gringosteve 213 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 Fair enough Are there any diffuser options that slot over that portion of the bumper? I am attempting to avoid having to replace the bumper for such a small scuff, but my OCD side hates seeing even small imperfections _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gringosteve 213 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 Ouch I really like that, but like you say it isn't cheap. Probably cheaper than a new bumper and paint though _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted July 29, 2015 Just repair the scuff and paint with Halfords Black Plastic Primer, or Citadel black primer from Games Workshop or Hobbycraft.Wipe down with solvent first and key with 1200 wet and dry.Much cheaper option!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
