I reckon you should vinyl it. It gives it a more sporting look and breaks up the colour a bit. IMO i think the rear looks boring completely colour coded.  I also think the trim around the exhaust looks quite cool. It will definately finish it off but i'm thinking you should have the trim in silver to match the paintwork.

How about some carbon fibre sheeting. Red weave for a red car, black and grey weave for any other colour. I think it would look quite trick, especially with carbon mirror inserts and the middle section of the front also in carbon. Only IMO but if it doesnt work, hey it's not cost too much! :wink:

I'm having problems getting this bloody vinyl - most places are giving it a no, no for satin black - and others are saying that the matt stuff is for shows and will shrink once weathered over time...... SO THE QUESTION IS......

What stuff have you previous vinyl dudes used??

I think all things considered I may go for a spray in dark Metallic Grey and colour code with the middle front section of the lower front valance.

A bit like the OEM colour of the new S3 :cool:
