How many here would consider or have had hydro dipping done to their Zed as a style feature?

also how durable is it?

Place in Stockport does this. Not cheap but looks good.

I will be using them to do the front grilles and Center insert in the M sport rear bumper when I have them fitted. (Provided I don’t fall out with the car in the meantime due to the continued fecking DCT gearshift issues).

I'm interested in all this as well.
@mr.tourette, in what pattern did you get yours dipped and may I ask the cost?
