thank you thank you
i had to remove the plastic part
its on double sided tape and came of very easy.
but the part over the exhaust tips had 4 pins in it, so i had to go to a body shop to have them pull the pins with a special tool.

the wrap is not 100% perfect, but it looks cool for now.
my service adviser at MB liked it )
asked me where i got it

What brand vinyl is that, it looks good. Di-Noc?

I imagine that even though the black plastic insert is textured the carbon vinyl works well with it no?

Ah, thats exactly the same stuff I was looking at wrapping some of my track car interior pieces in while I was in Canada earlier this year! It looks fantastic.

How did it hold up to the heating and stretching on the corners? I believe that it can be heated but the Di-Noc is more suitable for extreme wraps.

Looks great!
How does this wrap compare to the color and weave of your Eurotech CF front lip?
