    Window surrounds wrapping

    I was looking at wrap but was going to DIY using smoke tail light tints. But as I am no brain surgeon with a scalpel, I have decided against and now getting some smoke plasti-dip, I want a slight translucent shine rather than full black out.

    What have you done to your 8V today?

    Ouch!! I self induced a bit of kerb rash, I cleaned up the area with some rubbing alcohol to get rid of the black stuff then used a small file to round off the jagged edges, then used a silver ink pen to cover it.

    Fix rear diffuser? :(
