Cheap front appearance change - Toyota Yaris Forums

Majestic · 12-13-2015, 04:59 AM

I was inspired by the lower bumper appearance of the polo vivos, so I went out and bought a spraycan of gloss black. Sanded off the clearcoat from my bumper and got to work,4-5 light coats. I was nervous that I might have ruined the look of my car but wow

I love the results!

That looks neat! A guy here in Margate did it on his Sedan as well but with Plasti-Dip. The front of the car has always been the hardest part to stand out for me at least. Tried the Angel Eyes but it just didn't do it for me. Gonna import the top grill off the RS Vitz (I think) to make the front more BLLAACK :P

Big wide grin, without looking goofy (like the previous generation Mazda2). Looks good to me.
