Hi Guys,
Been waiting for some ok weather to a spot of window tinting and vinyl wrapping,
I was using the A1 amplified pics as a concept of what i wanted.

She started off as a full Amalfi white S-Line, now shes almost a black edition lol

Pics:

SPOILER

Contrast lines

Grill

Windows

Splitter

New badge for her bum

All done

This was my first ever attempt at tinting windows and first time wrapping since i attended a course. It went pretty well! although ive found a couple of marks that is bugging me, so might re-do some of the work in the future.

Happy with the results though

Hope you like!

Sorry for the low quality pics, took them on my phone lol

Another one of the grill

Holy crap that looks amazing for a first time attempt!

How long did it take you to do all that?

Love the spoiler and contrast lines, actually the whole thing looks awesome!

 

[adamck]

Cheers dude

Took about 4-5 hours to do on my own outside.
Had 4 different pro squeegees, felt tipped, full felt, plastic and soft plastic.
Used IPA to wipe it all down, Bosch heat gun with variable heat control.
KPMF wrapping vinyl and 3M carbon effect.
Window tint was 20% light emit for the back, only done the 2 back panels so far, need to do rear window yet.

Looks great, how was wrapping the grille, looks a nightmare!

I think some black wheels would set it off nicely

 

[adamck]

The grill wasn't half as bad as I expected. It's the chrome, of you miss a little on the inside of it you can't tell as the chrome will just reflect the black...

Took about 40 mins to do grill, looks oem now

Not sure on black wheels, wouldn't mind the grey black edition ones though, seen some replica ones on eBay for £550 with tyres, pretty tempted lol

Another shot from above

 

[adamck]

And the badge in the back looks better than the TDI badge lol

 

[Blade]

Looks real cool. Brilliant job, you sure have more patience than me.

 

[Mojito]

Looks brilliant! Well done.

I think the roof panel in black would look great too.

Not sure on the rear badge, it will attract unwanted attention

 

[Mojito]

P.S,
What are the black things stuck on the side panels?

 

[Blackhawk]

Do me, do me.

 

[adamck]

Lol no thanks was bad enough doing mine lol

The things on the side are magnetic vinyl holders, very useful when measuring up as you can hold the vinyl in place with these.
They are rubber based and very strong so they hold well and don't scratch the car.

From here, also got the vinyl for here and did my course here too!

Fantastic job. Well done.
I think your wheels in anthracite would finish it off.

Hi

Brilliant and I can see a list of clients a mile long.

 

[TDI-line]

Wow, that is excellent.

I may have to re-do my Daytona contrast line now. :mrgreen:

 

[Ashleypearce]

This looks genuinely incredible inspiring me as got s-line amalfi white coming with black wheels. Fancy a day to do mine lol

 

[Mojito]

A good little money earner on here!

 

[MM087]

Very Impressed ....

Fancy doing my Grill for me on the New A3 When it arrives ? :lol:

 

[adamck]

I don't mind doing grills do much as its a small area and a quicker turn around than the spoiler and contrast lines lol.
It's not my main job so I won't be doing loads, wouldn't mind doing it in return for some VCDS mods lol

I mainly want to perfect my window tinting skills! That is something I will probably start doing

 

[MM087]

Done and Done ....

Where in the country are you ?
