Just finished this with a strip supplied by Luke. Happy with it - fits the Di-Noc theme of my car better than the Plasti-Dip (which was a bitch to get off just quietly). I'll take better photos later :)

Here's the rest of the pics (iPhone pics ... I'm too lazy to get the camera out :))

The DRLs are just eBay cheapies. About 11cm long, I cut holes in the black plastic grill and recessed them in. They look cool but they're not great and I wouldn't recommend them to be honest. Before someone beats me to it, I'll stress that they're NOT REAL DRLs :). I also have white LED bulbs in the fog lights, all wired correctly to DRL standards. I'll be replacing them with DRLs from the Russian Site GB shortly.

Tim, That is VERY NICELY done! Starting to really look good now. I wish you had CF eyelids. It would make the car look really funky!

It does look very good! Looks like strong material too.

Are you going to cut around the tow hook cover or just leave it until (hopefully not!) necessary?

Yeah I imagine this would be more durable than Plastidip (to be fair, I got year+ out of plastidip before a few pinholes showed through). I figured I'd just leave the towpoint covered. If I ever do end up needing a tow (hopefully not), I'll just redo the vinyl.

Nice work mate.
Glad your happy with it.
I guess I better pull my finger out and do mine now to match my bonet!

Have you plastidiped you upper grill suround?
Looks quite dark?
