The only silver you can see is where there are stone chips in the vinyl on the front bumper

 

Harry, that wrap has been on a while now... Any sign that it needs redoing?

 

How long do they tend to last for? - I still love your car!

Thanks Rob.

The only bits that've needed attention on several occasions are the under sills along the side. That anti chip stuff that's on makes vinyl adhesion a real nightmare!

The vinyl I've used has a book outside shelf life of 5-6 years. My driveway is in the shade most of the day so when it's home it's out of direct sunlight. The UV rays are what will make it fade.

Other than that there's the abuse the front end gets with day to day use. The front bumper is peppered with silver dots where the vinyl has been compromised sadly

How was the front bumper to wrap? Was it not a p.i.t.a to do?
