MPS - That's a wrap!

[Diagro]

Time for some new number plates now.

What sort would you recommend?

Just my opinion but looks terrible

In what way do you feel its terrible?

You've got the same issue I have on my MPS with the wing mirror plastic looking faded.

Like the wrap, bold choice of colour.

Yea, I'm going to be using some thick black shoe polish on the plastics today. Has worked before. Will see how it looks.

Let me know how it works, i've been using a plastic darkener over the years, it works to an extent but not really satisfactory.

I had my wing mirror plastics resprayed gloss black. Couldn't stand the faded plastic look!

Will look good for 5 mins until it rains and runs down your door. Use a proper trim dressing or restorer. CarPro Perl is good, can dilute it down and use it for anything exterior and interior.

I couldn't tell if it was some sort of in joke or something but it's fairly relentless.

Did you need to rectify any stone chips before you took it there?

I see you mentioned having some dents removed but wondered if these places did any sort of prep ahead of the wrap.

I'm considering a wrap and need closure @Diagro

@Diagro Looks like it turned out nice - the pink/purple flip in the 2nd picture is really nice and a little bit different.

Stone chips, I filled prior.
They didn't do anything to them.
All they did was clean and Claybar followed by a wipe down before applying vinyl.

He did however fix my misaligned wings due to mounting point damage under the car.

I opted for the KPMF overlaminate, which basically made the material 2x as thick. It's hidden quite a bit in regards to paint issues.

Some still show through, but only if I look for them.

Prior to this, I had planned a full repaint. But the cost of that was too much to swallow..

Normally, the overlaminate I've gone for, adds a green, blue, pink flip.

It's changed due to the base colour, much of the green has been lost and the pink became more purple.

I'm really liking it though.

 

[Malevolence]

I like it. Looks similar to the colour of blue that I've seen on the Lexus LFA.

The finish looks great, I like it.

What sort would you recommend?

.

Completely standard ones that aren’t worn out

 

[Dis86]

Looks like the blue available on the latest Focus RS.

Fair enough,

I don't like the garage name on them anyway, will take this chance to change them.
