I've been thinking about that, and I might just get the coilovers fitted instead of getting my Legana sprayed.
As I hate the idea of getting the bumper fitted and then having it spend the next couple of months getting sandblasted by road grit.

I guarantee you there will be a wrap that is nigh on identical to astral black, should protect your paint a bit?
Sprinter's IS200 Sport... - FirebirdPhil - 18-10-2019
There is clear wrap:thumbup1:

Isn't it difficult to bring a wrapped car to a nice polished shine?

There are indeed wraps in both Astral Black and clear variants.
But the price is almost as much of a match as the colour is. :thumbdown: :lol:
For the sake of waiting a month or two to fit it, it will save me a couple of hundred quid getting it wrapped and the money can be spent on IS300 headlights instead
And yes, you can't polish wrapped cars to the same level as paint, which will show up on a black car because they are so shiny (when I can be bothered to clean it...)

Just read your whole thread and I must say you have made some very good mods and your car is looking ace !!!

Following my plans to make a DIY SC setup, I've swapped back from my induction kit to the OEM airbox/scoop so I have more room in the engine bay.
But I thought I would make it a little different, just because I can
So here's how I spent my afternoon, with a roll of aluminium heat reflective tape and my OEM airbox parts.
Preparation is your friend...

And all fitted back on the car, including my shiny new TRD oil filler cap that I forgot I bought!
