Great looking Coupe!

Would be good to see pics of the Designo interior.

Are you going matt or gloss red & do you have any plans for 05 tail lights?

Thanks for checking it out

The wrapping costs about... 310,88 British pound sterling (correct me if im wrong) or 300 USD if you convert it. Well spent!

Much cheaper than the UK, cheapest i ever found was £800 but most charge around £1000-£1200 mark.

Not sure if you paid the equivalent of $300 or £300 but $300 is around £190 over here.. Still great price either way!!

Could you post a link to where you purchased your grille at all?

So i think i am going to plasti dip the car in the summer, i've bought the spray gun just got to order the dip but not sure whether to try white first than a more crazy colour?

Liking the wrapping process pics, please post up some more of your now red coupe

Also out of interest as i know you had your coupe vinyl wrapped before, did you ever experience any bubbling, lifting or anything similar of the vinyl?

Possibly yes its from the top link, its been 1 year since i bought the grille.

The vinyl wrap doesnt come off easily if you dried it correctly, I usually leave the car at the garage for 3 days to let the vinyl sticked in properly.
