You pay for the good stuff, the cheap stuff doesn't last long before it starts falling apart, the good stuff is normally 40+ quid per roll.

I got my newage done at GRD in Woking. As above you pay for the good stuff but it is an effective mod IMO.
It smells for the first few drives!!! Anything that cools the engine has got to be good right?

good mod, reduces heat soak and helps exhaust gases flow better

Be aware that if you wrap the DP, een the good stuff will come off after a few years of getting wet then super hot etc.....

Gotta get mine re-done.

It smells a bit like burned chip fat when it gets hot the first few times lol!

I did say a few years!!!

It will come off I'm afraid, just a matter of time!

Best way is to ceramic coat, but that costs ££
