I think the matte would work but only if you did the rest of the grill etc?

I see I wanted it matte black for the front and back.

Do you think it wouldn't look good, gloss the better option?

Definitely mate, loads more subtle! I think that the matte would look like you've still gotta paint it, only my opinion mate.

Agree, matt black looks 'unfinished'.  Gloss much better.  Saw a SEAT with an matt black wrap yesterday and it looked awful (imo)

I purchased mine from parts4 euro, but then they purchased them from the far east, and sent direct to me.  Buy direct off ebay, and save the middle man
