Havent personally used Vinyl wrap but Plastidip does seem like it would be the easier option

Someone on here has used chrome wheel-arch moulding (the stuff us poor people use to chrome around the grille) in vertical strips along the back before spraying on plasti-dip - makes it look like. 'Proper' diffuser!

And saves literally hundreds of dollRs...

That's not the one I was thinkng of - it was short, vertical strips rather than going around the edge (but that works well too!)

The Supercheap link I posted before is for the body/wheel arch moulding :P
That's what I planned on using for it. Only reason I decided vinyl instead of plasti dip was because the vinyl cost me like $4 ahaha
But even if I change my mind, it's always handy to have different colours of vinyl laying around! :P

I see you sprayed that little groove bit too?

Do you mean the groove on the little rear lip? Or where abouts?

If your talking about the rear groove I stopped it in the middle where the groove is!
