	I did mine in the middle of a plowed field, in the dark, in a blizzard.

	You don't need to take the subframe off, it's one less thing to get in the way but the extra work outweighs that especially if you're paying hourly labour rates.

	The original wheels look good but I loved the different ones you got. They looked like something you could have got as a factory option - you know, the ones in the car catalogue you never see on the road. I think they suited the car really well.

	Do like the look of that, looks great especially from the front where the bumper seems a bit blacker than the rear plastics? could be my eyes though

Missed that! I like the colour and effect, but the quality of the wrapping doesn't look great from the pics - poor fit around the rear window rubber and something not right about the grille.

	See, this is why I don't come on RR quite so much these days. Default response for a lot of people is always 'I don't like your car because...' or 'here's what I think's wrong with your car...'. Seems like an odd way to behave.

I wouldn't pay them any attention, I can't see how its supposed to be a 'poor quality wrap' as I thought the fact that you showed close up pics highlighted how good it was
