Finally managed to Blackout my front bar with some CF Vinyl. Wasn't the easiest job, wasn't the hardest job. Took me two attempts and probably needs a third as I have about a 1mm gap on one side of the plate mount which isn't too visable but annoys me knowing its there.

Nice. Was it hard to do around the number plate mount?

It wasnt TOO hard. I used 4 pieces of plain coloured vinyl to cover the area and then traced around the edges to get the shape then transfered that to the back of the carbon firbe paper. I left a little room to tuck it under the edges of the mount but ended up trying to trim it close and sliding it over the edges. Skipped the bottom arch as it isnt visable.

Hey mate, I just got it off ebay, I can link you the seller if youd like but im away at the moment so it may take me a little while to reply. I spent a bit extra to try to avoid low quality adhesives

The plate mount is screwed on from behind the front bar- so the entire front bumper bar would need to be removed to do that.

Bumper removal is easy also while it is off change out lower grille to same as top (ie sports) straight swap
