Seen this lad below does them but no idea where you are, any decent vehicle wrap company should be able to sort it.

I'm afraid I can't coment on price. Had my grill an inserts painted, and window trim and mirror caps wrapped. Really superb job from Wrap Concepts / Vital signs in Essex but they're a neighbour, all ready do other work for me so I got an exceptional rate. Plus there was a second S3 being done at the same time. It really is just a question of personal preference but it added deffo another 100mph to my top speed and cut the 0-60 traffic light launch to 1.256 seconds . I love it

Had all my chrome wrapped (mirrors have carbon caps)

Wrapped in matt black. Was advised that gloss will loose its shine - I wanted matt anyway

Cost was £175 - but my S7 is a bit bigger that the 3. Majority of the cost is in the labour charge.

Hi how do you remove the trim above the window? Was it riveted ?

Wrapping the window trims certainly seems to be the hardest of any of the trim pieces - i was recently quoted £230 + VAT for the work (North of the border)

If you where ever coming to aberdeen let me know at least a week in advance as i know a guy who wraps cars and is reasonable has done sons chrome on his ztec and done my side mirros bumper and splitter

I was quoted £40 for front grill and £150 for window surrounds, and another place was £50 for grille and £160 for window surrounds.

 

[ch1z64]

Just a tip . I have found that the 8p front grille trim is interchangeable so if you can grab a cheap aftermarket grille or even oem with black trim and just change them over . I have done it with oem black onto aftermarket honeycombed rs3 grille

Has anyone tried plasti dip?

Going ny this thread looks like nope but you could break out and be the first and let us kmow how you get on as that would be a massive saving to all

 

[marc curtis]

I’ve ordered the spray I’ll keep you all posted

 

[Snake Pliskin]

I wish Audi would offer the option of black window cappings as I really don't like chrome on the wondow surrounds.

I do like the standard grill though - rather than full on black pack.

As above - getting the windows done on their own can be a hassle and expense.

But well worth it for the end look

Looks good once the chrome is done .

Had the wheels sprayed! Not sure on the mirrors he did suggest it, what do you think?

After seeing how much people charge for wrapping these bits, I think im going to give PlastiDip a try, I have used it a number of projects now and have always had fantastic results with it! So much cheaper too! Just need to mask up the car and youre good to go!

I think front grille you should wrap as its not too expensive and will protect better from stonechips. I got quoted £40 ot £50 for front grille. Plastidipping the window surrounds is a good idea as it will cost you maybe only £15 to do and is in a more protected area.

how did you deal with the rubber, i plasti dipped the front grill and come out well, need to look at the window surrounds now. someone suggested the tape with a edge under the rubber.
