Love that mod, well done! I ve got a B6 A4 in silver and i think that covering the chrome with a matt black finish vinyl will look a lot better. Anybody knows if i can just take the chrome grill surround off on an 03 A4 or will i have to take the whole grill or bumper off? Obviously if i can just unclip the surround i would rather do that than take the bumper off. I just dont want to force it and break the clips off etc. Has anyone done this on an A4? Thanks in advance for any advice!
Did the grill surround this morning

Makes a big difference to the front end for sure. Can't help you on Yr grill dude best off searching/asking in the A4 section.

Ye 3m has now launched their new 1080 premium cast designed specifically for vehicle wrap. 12 new finishes, few new carbon colours too, good thing is it's now avaiable in 1500 wide so we can now wrap wider areas without having to splice the weave. Im still waiting for some samples, will post up when iv checked out.

Cheers dude, You'll probably might get the rings if you push it right in before you cut between the rings.
Sounds good pics when done! you might struggle under the hood, iv done the slam panel and the v5 on the cover, was going to do the whole cover and cut around the lettering but it just won't stay in between the letters so when you cut in it looks like you used Yr teeth lol. 3m cv3 deffo won't do it due to its adhesive so I'd try a different vinyl type dude
ill maybe just do carbon skinnin under hood then? you get high temp stuff so surely that,ll work eh?

Sorry for the stupid question but how the heck do I remove the grill surround? Does it just unclip out or have I got to remove other parts first?
Cheers buddy, means :thumbsup:
Two ways dude, cleanest is to remove the front bumper then push out the grill surround from the rear side of the grill or you can use a trim tool/ flat screw driver and pop it from the front. Start On the inside Corners and Work your way around. Some people have snapped the clips doing it this way though! so I'd have a go and if it ain't budging just whip off the bumper. takes about half an hr to have it off and back on then just clip the grill back in once done.

I wrapped mine and tbh wasn't hasn't happy with the finished product, when I can be bothered ill do it again, I've not actually removed any vinyl in my life but I can only assume with a heat gun it would it would be super easy

Wrapping is so old school now. It's all about plastidip spray paint now. Easy to do, very durable, and easy to peel off cleanly. Have a look at some of the plastidipped grill videos on YouTube.
