Ha. Those are the smaller fiddly bits too.
I need to do the GFs Grille Bar on the Corsa, fancy wrapping it to save being fussed about the potential of a shitty paint finish, but I also haven't wrapped anything before, so don't want to do a crap job of it...

Take your time and it'll be easy just don't try to "stick it on flat" like a big sticker, pull it and stretch it like fuck and you won't get creases and bubbles and it'll fit the contours, I might do them I'll see how I feel lol don't have much patience tbh haha, deffo wrap iv seen painted ones they look poo it chips dead easy,

Oh and smoked side repeaters!
What are people's views on bonnet vents? Seen it alot on the corsas and astras as a visual sort of mod I'm thinking of doing it to mine maybe focus rs mk2 type vents in gloss black or carbon? Will also aid cooling as these engines do actually get very warm lol

I'd say no to the vents, as won't match the rest of the car.
Yes to chrome bits going black

I'm not 100% sure of them myself. Needs supporting aesthetic changes to pull them off IMO.
