I've been thinking about that, and I might just get the coilovers fitted instead of getting my Legana sprayed.

As I hate the idea of getting the bumper fitted and then having it spend the next couple of months getting sandblasted by road grit.

I guarantee you there will be a wrap that is nigh on identical to astral black, should protect your paint a bit?

There is clear wrap:thumbup1:

"Life's goal is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But, rather to skid in sideways........
totally worn out and broken, shouting 'Holy ****, WHAT A RIDE!'"

Isn't it difficult to bring a wrapped car to a nice polished shine?

And yes, you can't polish wrapped cars to the same level as paint, which will show up on a black car because they are so shiny (when I can be bothered to clean it...)

There are indeed wraps in both Astral Black and clear variants.

But the price is almost as much of a match as the colour is. :thumbdown: :lol:

For the sake of waiting a month or two to fit it, it will save me a couple of hundred quid getting it wrapped and the money can be spent on IS300 headlights instead Smile

So here's how I spent my afternoon, with a roll of aluminium heat reflective tape and my OEM airbox parts.

Preparation is your friend...

Following my plans to make a DIY SC setup, I've swapped back from my induction kit to the OEM airbox/scoop so I have more room in the engine bay.

But I thought I would make it a little different, just because I can Smile
