Hi All!

So my bumper stripes were removed when i bought the car and i was fine with it. But today i think it actually add to the design.
So i went to a vinyl wrapping company but they told me that it was quite hard to do. Better to paint it they said..

So my questions, is it even possible to find original stripes and what have you done to your car?

Hello :D

My car came with wrapped stripes so it is very much possible. Looks really tidy. The cost saving action that was taken was that the front and rear bumper were done in 2 halves and slightly overlapped in the centre. It really doesn’t show. This saves an entire length having to be used.

Mine are black (you may have a different colour) and it’s done with a slightly metallic black which doesn’t really show but I think does make a difference.

You maybe just need to ask around for more quotes. They probably just don’t want to do it as it’s not a big job no doubt. :(

Good luck.

Agree wrapped is the way to go.

Following a very poor repair completed by a local garage I dropped mine into Volvo, Hylton Gott at Downham Market, the request was to make it look like new.

As you can guess a small repair escalated but I would 100% recommend their work.

Also the overlap noted is original, this they replicated perfectly, a small detail but definitely appreciated.
