@BDG It didn't escape as such, the charger was in quite a remote area (Kilchoan Ferry Terminal) so while we were waiting on the car charging, we just let the dog have a wander about - for some reason he decided he wanted to park himself in the other charge bay - he must have been in need of a quick recharge too. :)
 
Here is mine. I had the front and back bumper vinyl wrapped with gloss black as I didnt like the grey colour. Im going to get the roof done in a few weeks.
How much did you pay for the wrap on the bumpers. I'm in kildare and considering getting this done to mine when it arrives in the new year. was thinking carbon fiber Matt black or maybe the gloss black. not decided yet.

Hi.
I got it done in greenogue and was 150. The mat black is the nicest. I had your man put the carbon fibre on first just to see and we both didn't think it looked proper.

Hi!

I just got my Ioniq HEV a month ago and am really very happy with it so far. But I was wondering what the car might look like if I extended the 'Blue Drive' theme by colouring the door bump strips the same as the standard HEV blue highlights on the front and rear? I picked up some blue self-adhesive film approximately the same colour just to mock it up and see what the reaction was. What do you think? I would get some cold-cast air release wrap printed in a closer match to the standard blue to do the job for real, if I thought it was looking better than the standard dark grey. I'm not sure, so.....

So like or no like?

Hi.. Not enough posts to be able to reply to your PM, but thanks for liking my idea. It's really easy if you have the right material. If I was going to go ahead with this I would order some of this material for $23 USD:

https://www.amazon.com/Matte-Pearl-Vinyl-Bubble-Channel/dp/B00MJ7OVT8

It stretches with a little heat from a warm air gun and has special glue that releases trapped air bubbles. Clean the trim so there is no traces of dirt and dust! Cut approximately the right size for each door and place the material on the trim and warm it gently so that it stretches. It can be lifted and repositioned many times! Smooth it around the plastic contours and make sure the air is pushed out. While the material is being warmed it will try to shrink back to it's original shape so this is the technique- heat gently, stretch, position and heat gently, push out the air and wrinkles.. Small bubbles will take care of themselves after the glue starts to work in a day or so. Finally, using a very sharp scalpel, trim the edges being very careful not to scratch the car paintwork or the plastic trim. The nice thing is if you want to go back to the original look, you just warm it again with hot air and peel it off.
If you decide to go ahead, share some pictures!

Best regards

is this the one you used?

No, Ejay. I used some blue self-adhesive sheet vinyl which would normally be cut and used flat for making signs. It doesn't behave in the same way as cast vinyl and it was not possible to fit it properly around the 3D curves. I used that though just to get an idea of what it might look like. After I took the photos, I removed it again.
Regards!
