Am thinking that just before you have finished doing all the
rest (mirrors, side skirts, front spoiler) that you should top
it all off with an order in to Smartmods for a set of matching
orange 'Alloygators' rim protectors for your Monoblocks !

Little fins on the front bumper wrapped tonight (no idea what to call them but the skinny bits near the bottom) did lhs and rhs but got too cold and ditched the middle until tomorrow. Got the vinyl for the mirrors cut ready too. Still a load left so skirts, bottom of rear bumper and a few skinny bits in the grooves on the centre of the doors too.

Good thinking on the rim protectors. Should work well.

What do you think about doing the wheel centre caps too?

Try it...it's not as if you would have to have the caps re=sprayed or re-chromed
if you didn't like the orange wrap on them...just tear/rip/peel it off if you don't like.
Schimples.....

I would say it's a bit too much to do the center caps and have orange alloygators, it's easy to overdo it with the orange accents. Sometimes less is more :D

Not sure if I would wrap the entire front lower apron/spoiler.....
Perhaps a 1" orange band would look more in keeping.

Do the top halves of the mirrors for sure.

And another. Have the vinyl cut for the mid part of the front bumper and the mirror caps but had no time to do them as of yet. Maybe tomorrow or the weekend -

Wangswong.....
you need to either wrap the lower Brab valance panel in orange
or have a thin band across the back lower down....
maybe that 'band' across where the Brabus badge is on the tailgate.
Without some more orange it looks a bit 'incomplete' to my old eyes.

And JJ...
that looks bloody awesome !!!

very jealous !!

Remove the white wrap from your bonnet area, and then to match
the orange 'fly-eyed' roof you have, by wrapping the same bits as
Wangswong has done in orange.
You wouldn't be copying as your car is silver.

It would then be good to both of them parked side by side one day...
THAT would be awesome !
