I dont suppose anyone knows if any compaines do an aftermarket rear bumper insert with mesh or anything different?
thanks

Im sure I've seen carbon fibre ones.

The insert is easily removed so you could change that to what ever colour finish you fancy. Or even replace with some sort of mesh/ honeycomb grill if that floats ya boat.

Or get it wrapped ^^^ :sign_plug:

Most people wrap it or spray it black, which is prob what i will eventually do.

I'v wrapped mine gloss black, others have either done the same or painted to freshen it up. Another option would be hydro graphics. Personal choice really dude but I think wrapping it is more versatile and can be easily changed if you fancy a new look. But that's me
Would recommend matching up your front bumper insert and blades also to tie it all in

Thanks guys its gave me stuff to think about is there anywhere that does a sensible priced carbon vinyl as id probably want to do the door trims and front grille surround?

i wasnt really bothered about seeing through it you wouldnt really want to it was more just cause it would look better than a big piece of grey plastic

Considering yours is quite a noticeable colour I would think it would look worse than the grey panel as it would show through...

Maybe a colour change would suit it better as the grey may not be a complimentary colour to your car?

How does it come off? Clips?

 

[Colly]

Ebay and google, theres quite a few out there but most, if not all, are fugly.

Yeah they are. Are all s3 rear bumpers the same? Got told that there are different ones. Mine is a 51 plate and i looked at a "W" reg one last week and it looked the same.
