Want to make my 'LEON' lettering black
- Thread starter Gadgetboy
- Start date
Done pretty much the same mate 
Only chrome left is the rear badge ( which I'll do tomorrow) and the 'LEON' lettering.
I'm wanting to keep the LEON lettering, but just have it in gloss black.
Not sure if the best way will be to buy some new lettering badges and then get them sprayed. I've got plenty of vinyl wrap, just it would mean taking the letters off, wrapping them, then trying to reapply them.
Just wrapped my rear bumper insert last weekend and have now just fitted my pressed plates. Looks loads better and also made me noticed how way out of centre my original dealer fitted plates were!
EDIT:
Just noticed, have you wrapped your windows too ?

I'll take some pics tomorrow mate, but they're miles better than the Arnold Clark plates it had on which were peeling away!
Paid £27 for the plates and £14 for the plate surrounds. Just wanted the plain surrounds as I think they suited the car better.

It's like when I got the car remapped and I told her it was only £300. It was only when the credit card bill came in she found out it was £400.
But I'm getting better mpg, so by the year 2015 it'll of paid for itself. And no that didnt go down well. lol

the grill is the original........chrome
removed wrapped satin black and reinstalled
seat badge wrapped in situ....
prefer wrapping to paint as its reversible and dont want to affect resale opportunities etc.

Sounds like a plan. My next purchase is gonna be a rear spoiler, guessing sere is the best place to get one, then get it fitted locally
Once the seat badge and Leon lettering is black I'll be happy
Hi pal
Did you find that after applying the wrap it left a rough feel to the black wrap?
The plastic as standard is rough you see just wondering
