Hmmmm, Not Sure....
Have been thinking of trying this for a while, so gave it a go today.
Didn't get the finish i wanted as there are a few creases in the wrap, so have taken it back off.
Can't decide if i like it or not.
If i do decide i like it i'll get it re-done but professionally.
Your opinions would be appreciated, and might help me make my mind up as to if i get it fitted properly or not.
As you can see from this one i'm a better insurance broker than vinyl wrapper!!!!

Technically no, but almost.... and have never had any problems from the police with it there.
(infact when i got pulled for having the plate on the splitter i was told by the policeman to put it on the bonnet)

The more i look at it the more i like it.
Shame i didn't fit it better, then i could have kept it on for a while to help decide.

Could probably have done it better if i'd take then bumper off.
My **** was freezing sitting on that floor, so with a bit more time and easier access i might have got it right.
Have got some left, but not enough to do the splitter again.
Was only £20's worth, so no massive waste.
Has more a case of seeing if i liked it or not.
Would get it done properly if i was to go with it.

sorry gary i love you car to bits, looks top stuff but i am not a fan on that one, i think if you had the carbon reverse scoop stil on then maybe but for me it looks a little out of place in my opinion.
if you were to wrap the bonnet in the middle bit that runs inbetween the bonnet vents and then maybe the roof then that might look good as i have thought of that myself but i think just the lip looks out of place all my opnion though and if you like it then fair played

Saw it on a few Evo's last year and liked the idea.
Mrs Moley isn't keen on it.... and we know how wears the trousers in our house
Yeah looking forward to it, keep checking the long range weater forecasts.
Need to get my finger out and get the car ready really, although i haven't used it much since Snetterton.
Thought we had ages to go, but it's only 3 weeks tomorrow!!!

The way it was before, with the plate on the splitter was IMO one of the best looking front ends I have ever seen on an impreza. Why you'd want to change that I have no idea?

Not 100% sure here... it does look good but being a silver car it does stand out a lot, maybe a darker car would make it more subtle ?
What about having a centre joint in it so the weave forms a V shape ?
I have to add I like the plate there myself.

.... have decided to keep the splitter silver, but with a little extra touch that i quite like. (will get a picture tomorrow)
I have always liked having the car looking subtle, and don't think the darker splitter fits in with that look.
