Plastidipped my grill fender benders or whatever you call them :P I think they look absolutely awful on the premium model with car color paint. Still learning the plastidip method so they did not come out perfect but they look so much better now.

They do look great, particularly vs white body paint.

Looks good. My wife caught me trying to wrap ours (which are chrome) and I've been directed to leave her car alone. At least I got to wrap the sills and the centre of the front spoiler before I got my orders.

Yes, actually on driver side after spraying I accidentally touched it removing the masking tape while it was still wet and completely messed it all up. Fixing by just spraying over did not work so I waited like 20 minutes and it pealed right off (very easy). I sprayed again right away.

Hi. I used black satin wrap. It was a bit of a pain and I had to use 2 pieces due to the curve but you dont notice unless you look. You can just see the bit at the front as well. I prefer it like that because I like the XF front.
