The flocked bumper UPDATE PAGE 4 - Headlight covers

Post by bb1boy » Mon Jul 01, 2013 9:34 am

Some of you may have seen on Facebook yesterday that I had my bumper flocked.. for those that didn't, here it is!

I have flocked headlightbrows/nostril vents to go on later too.

I needed to fit the bumper and can't afford to get it painted yet so I thought, flock it, I'll have a furry front bumper for a while :)

Not that easily.. but then, it's nothing a box of sanding pads and a couple of hours can't fix ;)

It's weird, the matte effect of the flock kind of absorbs light so it's like photographing a black hole haha
