Hi I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this! So what I'm wanting is the bit I have circled in the picture and i was wondering is this done with a vinyl wrap 

As I said probably a stupid question but I'm clueless with this 

thanks

Hi,

you could paint it but From my own personal experience having fitted a Gloss black front splitter which was painted numerous times to cover stone chips; your much better to wrap it because the stones don't impact on the wrap as much as they do in paint.

Hi

painting is only any good if you can bake the paint in a oven in a body repair shop I painted my bonnet lip with a can but soon lost all its shine and looked as if I had sand blasted it lol

additionally with paint, if you nudge the bumper against something and it flexes, the paint can crack.

Also, in many cases when people spray things, they do not prepare the surface properly which means the paint can flake easily, particularly if the plastic flexes.

In my opinion, a vinyl wrap is much more practical and gives awesome look to your car. My vinyl wrap project was installed by Gatorwraps and I am very satisfied!

To behonest the blacked out lower section is so cheesy in my mind, I'm starting to see loads of Fords done this way and even on Vauxhall's as well as Citroen's :w00t:

Was it the Toyota Aygo which first had this done by the manufacturer ? Then every modder jumped on the band wagon :whistling:

Just my opinion but if the Fiesta you have is an S1600 I'd not mess about wrapping or painting the lower pumper but that's just me.

But why ?  it shouldn't be mimicking it's older brother  :ohmy:

It's like when I see 3 door Titanium X's and the chrome is removed & blacked out and ZetecS badges & alloys fitted! Why buy a Titanium X in the first place :rolleyes:

I'm not telling not to do such mods, just trying to understand that bit more why some would paint in the black section!

Not like I've not altered things on our Fiesta.... I have :wink:
