Couple of things I'm thinking of wrapping gloss black, got 5m by 1m wide coming:

Chrome window trim
Vauxhall badges (might plastidip)
Chrome gear surround
Heater vents (maybe a bad idea due to heat)
Steering wheel logo (again, may plastidip)
Making some 'eyebrows' for front lights

Thoughts....

Also at the 'run what you brung' meet I'm happy to wrap things for people (for cost of wrapping), all I'll need is a plug socket for a hair dryer

I wouldn't do the chrome window trims, you need the chrome on a black car to break it up.

But if you do do them don't pull the chrome out the rubber unless you have the tool to get back in.

Thanks for the tip, was gonna take them all off the car but now I'm gonna wrap them while they are still on, at least with wrapping it can be taken off
