That looks pretty damn good. I've been thinking of doing similar - wrapping the roof and the spoiler, and adding a small extension. I had been wondering - when you look at the existing spoiler, there is an obvious part to wrap, i.e. the inner part. I was wondering how wide the spoiler lips looked, and if they were noticeably wider than that inner part. Do you see what I mean? Would you be able to post a photo more from above?

Hopefully the below photos answer your questions. The wrap has been taken to the natural wrapping point on the lip i.e the inner, which left around an inch of a red lip which looked nice. The TCR spoiler completely hides the red paint and is now all gloss black.

I'll get a better photo for you later on.

It looks pretty close to what I'm hoping for, but another picture would be great. I'm in no rush though so don't put yourself out.

You pictures of your car always leave me so jealous  :angry: I really need to get mine cleaned, wheels sorted, then choose a spoiler extension front lip... etc. So much to do! Then I remember I have to think about replacing the water pump before anything else  :sad:

There you go hopefully that's what you were after. I haven't washed mine in about 3-4 weeks now, needs done  :whistle:, if it helps it took me over a year to actually to buy the spoiler after I decided I wanted it  :grin:

Car has to go in tomorrow for rear brake pads so she had a late night bath to make sure they don't wash it.

Finally got around to fitting my Mountune stage one map, the car now feels so alive

Think I may now treat it to the mountune intake too

Cheers Jason
