my self and rusty have done this but we both opted for painting them
it is easy to wrap the pillars but warping the wing mirror is very hard to do
rusty did a how to for the pillar removal
here is what my car looks like done gloss black

it does look 100% better and well worth doing

i might just do the pillars then, not by the wing mirror

It will look wrong if you don't do the mirrors as well, I know as I've got my old mirrors on at the moment that I've not done Gloss black.

No mate it won't not in my opinion, I can't wait to get my gloss black mirrors on.

if they are all gloss black it ties them all in nicely.

How much do you think it would cost to get it done by professionals?


What do you think??? - Rusty2009 - 9:th-Mar-2014

Depends mate on who you use prices in your local area.

would say no more than £100.

Hmm wondering if I could wrap it all without taking it off?!

Cameron,

Here is a pic showing how wrong it looks not doing the mirrors gloss black as-well.

If you don't have hekos you might get away with it more.

I'm gonna order some wrap and give it a go, it's only about £10 for enough wrap to do it all

It needs the Mirror pillar doing as well. Sorry I don't know what to call that, The front is 'A' pillar, the next one is mirror pillar which is ? Then door pillars are 'B' pillars, etc. I asume.
