Edit: the front bumper looks a tad plain compared to the rest, could you do the coloured stripes between the fog lamp recess area and the main air inlet to the radiator

We considered many options with regards to the bonnet stripes and to be honest what you suggest is what most would do ......... and that's why we didn't do it.

In that case I look forward to seeing the extra things stuck to the front bumper

Perhaps my reply was a little strong last night.
I understand your point but as Lee points out we were trying to keep to a very clean design, somewhat reminiscent of the 1960/70 race cars.

It was always possible to extend the graphic further forward but I didn't want it to fight the wing graphics and initially had intended it to stop at the front of the bonnet. But that (as Ray quite rightly pointed) out would look like he had damaged the front and just changed the bumper. With this design if he does damage the bumper then it's just a simple job of wrapping another.

every one has their own opinions and what they do to their own car is their choice. I see the logic with if the bumper needs to be replaced as well. The rear bumper stickers break up the open space, so something simple like that would also 'finish' the look but that's my opinion.
I wish I had the time and skills to do what you have done on that car
