Today was a busy day. Did two things:
  • Took some pics again
  • Spray-wrapped the grille frame

First, the pics:

Second, the wrapping:

Thanks to the blog post from @i30n-tipps (in german) [Link], I thought to myself, I might try to spray-wrap the front grille surrounding.

Initially, I wanted to wrap the surrounding in a matte black, but as I f*cked it up twice and the bottle was empty after that, I used the gloss black I also ordered to cover up the rest.

I am quite suprised it still turned out that well, considering I had two failed attempts. Luckily it is only a wrap, so you just peel it off and try again.

If you're not as clumsy as I am, you might get it done in about 3 hours, I needed about 5 (because the wrap needs some time to dry)...

The result:

Really great work, the front grille looks much better, even if it is only a small change! Just a beautiful N and the color looks so damn sick!

When you've done it I want to see pics! I'm curious to see the blacked out grille on your N!
I bought the spray, if he doesn't do it before I do you'll get to see it. I'm not taking the grille off so we'll see how it goes. Thanks for the link, bought the same stuff you used. Car looks great by the way!

Short little update:
  • Refreshed my Gyeon MOHS coating by applying Gyeon Cure
  • Took some pics /w @Patrick_SH and his not yet N
  • Installled the PowerFlex Purple Bushing

The bushing:

I do not really feel a difference when daily driving it. However I think the power delivery from lower RPMs (1st and 2nd gear) feels a bit smoother to me.

Did two new things to my lady in grey:


Installed Bonnet lifter from ATH
They are a perfect fit and quite easy to install. However you need some dexterity in order to not loose the washers when mounting them :p

Installed K&N Air filter
I've installed the K&N Air Filter E-2993 (originally made for the Focus RS) and tested the sound with the airbox closed and opened. Dear god I must say I am astonished by the sound the car produces with the new air filter and the airbox lid removed :eek:. But since we have hot weather here in Germany, I am gonna put the lid back on (although I dont want to :D).
Install was straight forward. You just need to push it a bit and it slots right in.
