Chrome delete on my Skoda Slavia + PPF on interior piano black trims

The Chrome delete was largely done by wraps. Logo & letters were rubber painted which look quite good at least for now. Only time will tell how well they'll hold up.

BHPian Gotham recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

The car completed a little over a year and the Odo stands at 9k. My daily ride is a Vento TSI so Slavia is reserved only for weekend and highway duties.

Ever since I got the car the chrome bits were an eyesore & it was decided to get them deleted once the car completes a year. I spent few weeks looking for someone in Bangalore who could help me but either the place had poor reviews or were willing to do only partial chrome delete or wanted the car to be left back for 4-5 days.

One fine day I came across Vinyl'ed on Instagram and reached out to them. They replied with a confirmation and assured the work can be completed in one day. We locked a date & time to carry out the work , I reached the place well ahead of the schedule and the car was taken in for work at 10 Am on the dot.

Met Vaibhav who explained me the whole process and options that I can consider. He suggested few other mods which I've parked aside for later subject to home minister approving the spend budget.

Also the style variant gets Piano black trim which is a scratch magnet without even touching it.

This was another area which many shops outright refused to cover it with PPF , Vaibhav was able to get them PPF'd without having to open the dashboard or the gearbox enclosure. While he was confident he can open them safely I didn't want to risk it.

The Chrome delete was largely done by wraps. Logo & letters were rubber painted which look quite good at least for now. Only time will tell how well they'll hold up.

Overall the work done was as promised & met my expectations. The total amount came close to 23k which I personally felt is fair considering the amount of labour it took to get the everything done.

I will now let the pics do the talking.
