The whole grille is easy to take out, but it has three layers. I separated them before wrapping the slats. But I don't think it's necessary to take it apart. You can warp them directly on the car. It's just really quite tedious as there are so many small corners.

I also have a Black Sapphire and I think the front looks better with a bit of chrome on the grille. I tried the black grille but wasn't happy with everything being one color. I personally think black looks best when it has some silver or chrome to offset it. Last edited by robby818; 09-08-2020 at 02:45 PM.. |

How did you get those wheel arches on X-Line? Also, could someone please tell me if it's possible to wrap/tint the rear bumper trim instead of painting (it's lease so can't do permanent changes)? I don't mind the front, but the rear, and the side slots look kind of out of place, I'd like to start with rear, is this possible? I live in NYC and I am sure there are places who can do these things I but I have no clue where to start.

I bought M-Sport wheel arches and had them painted at a body shop. I have heard that it is possible to paint the x-line arches if you do not want to buy the new parts.
I am not sure how well the vinyl wrap will adhere to the rough black plastic parts. it will stick to the smooth plastic fine. I had the silver piece wrapped in satin black before i decided to paint it. Quote:

Anything done on rear bumper? It looks really nice. PS: I had just asked about those 20" wheels if anyone saw the black ones, I am not a fan of the matte chrome finish on the current one, I am not regretting not getting the cheap rims and buy 4 rims and replace them myself and put the old ones back before returning lease. Those rims look boss! I remember dealer once offered to powder coat the rims, but did he not realize it's lease.. Not sure I should ask him if dealer made changes are approved for lease return?
