I'm thinking of wrapping rear light surrounds, grill surround and front light surrounds if black vinyl.

The only problem I've got is the front lights have washers.

Has anyone wrapped lights with washers? If so, how did they do it?

Thanks.

I got (sadly not trading anymore) Phil at MINI-Pirate to do mine a couple of years ago, he cut a square big enough to cover the whole headlight & with copious use of a heatgun, shaped to fit the headlight rings, then used a scalpel to carefully to cut around the washer cover :wink:

Have got a couple of stone chips damage since though :angry:

You could try your local dealer, some things are actually quite cheap.

Failing that have you got any brakers yards close, or even ebay??
