Wow! It looks much better than stock. Now you just need to fix your exhaust tips.

Considering plastidipping my rear bumper the same way now. Anything to be weary of? Did you remove the black trim piece along the top edge that comes on the sport line bumper?
Thanks in advance.

It's pretty straightforward. Spend the time to mask properly. Follow DIYs online for using plastidip.

I didn't take off the black trim piece. Not sure if it even comes off. I just painted over it. Figured no one would ever even be able to tell.

You def didn't spray on enough layers then

Not normally not a fan of stick on stuff but wow that small piece of vinyl makes so much difference to the overall appearance of the back of the car for the good.

Anyone have tips on doing this with vinyl wrap?
Cutting, getting the line straight, etc....

I would use 3M knifeless tape. Look up some YouTube vids on how it works. Should be pretty easy to figure it out from there.

Yea, use 3m knifeless tape. Hard part is smoothing it all out.. You'll see

What did you end up doing? I got the Modernline in MG. Thinking of Gloss Black for the Roof and Doing the Rear Diff, just don't know what kind of finish. Can't find much pics of MG around either. Other than checking out the Mineral Grey Photo Thread.

in what way?

mine is single still and while it bugs me a little, I can't bring myself to adding a dual tip, just feels wrong for some reason

Old thread, sorry, but what exhaust tips are those? They look pretty big...
