    Haven't done but I was tempted to do some of the interior a while back.
    Check out www.thestickyrings.com and https://www.facebook.com/VinylStyling, they're both owned by young enough lads in the Irish car scene. Good quality stuff.

    Do a bit of research before you have a go at some one, would you?

    You're completely wrong, go figure it out for yourself.

    It started out with drift cars that take regular beatings, a bag of stickers of anything is a lot cheaper than getting a panel resprayed.
    It ended up as a "thing" to do in certain modifying scenes and when done right it can actually look decent.

    This was done by one of our own

    In a nut shell, its personal taste. Just like everything else. Personaly I'm fond of the humble sticker bombing. I dont get the carbon fiber wrap, but like I said just personal taste.

    As for the sticker bombing I think less is more. Some people would only sticker bomb a wheel arch or a fual cap. Others might stickerbomb their roof or bonnet etc...

    Good example.

    Bad example. :eek:

    Cool, seems good value, but that sticker bomb wrap is awful handy stuff. :cool: Don't forget to post your work in this thread when you get it done. ;)

    You'r grand, If you have a heat gun its not a bad idea to heat up the splitter slightly before putting on stickerbomb wrap as it will stick better. Just make sure it doesn't melt.

    would you say i should remove the things to be stickerbomb?

    Seems a hard job to remove the centre console?

    It's usually just a few screws to get it out, you're better off tbh. Leave the edges where they can't be seen and all that.

    Like Cian said, it shouldn't be too difficult and you'll probably be glad of it in the end.

    Even just look it up on youtube of how to remove your centre console.

    Follow the pictures and it won't be all that difficult. Then just reverse the process.

    So i did it! The Splitter wouldn't come off so this is me doing it whilst its attached while using a hair dry to soften the plastic. I don't think its too bad at all.

    I also did the A pillars inside the car but its to dark to take a photo of them, what do ya think of it lads ? :D
