Many thanks Neil (PS Fitted my EBC Red Stuff Pads by the way - doddle thanks everyone for your advice) I had it on my previous Zed: I thinks its pretty good but you can get this stuff from Halfords much cheaper Quote
Neil Posted July 10, 2006 Author Posted July 10, 2006 Thanks mate... I was beginning to feel like ' Billy no mates' for a while Do Halfords sell standard lengths and I have to cut to size? Last question...promise Neil Quote

Liam's Z Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 I bought from autogrilles,,, what can I say..... Took an age for delivery, Good communication throughout Kit arrived fitted and fell off after two weeks also started bubbling Contacted them several times but once feedback was left they weren't interested Quote
M13KYF Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Thanks Everyone... I'm off to Halfords Neil You'll need a hairdryer to warm the stuff up to get it nice and flexible. Also may be handy to have some superglue. Some members have had it lift off in the corners where it bends at quite an acute angle. Little dab of superglue and it will sort it aswell as sticking your hand to the grill Quote

I have bought the 7mm stuff from Halfords, but have been wary about trying to fit it for that reason. At 7 mm it is certainly wider than the thickness of the grill bars. Jim Quote

Just remember to to leave too small cuts for the tow bar piece. The pack just does the 3 horizontal grill bits. Happy sticking Quote

Jim Jim are you using flat section chrome strip or the U section strip?? Quote
lomoto Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 I used the flat section stuff. Oh .., Ok I had just got it into my head that this stuff must be U section, like the old fashioned stuff you used to put on mini guttering Quote
M13KYF Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 halfords don't do that stuff anymore. Only the flat stuff. Val also has the flat stuff ditted. Quote

Jim Jim are you using flat section chrome strip or the U section strip?? I have the flat section strip. Like you, I wondered if there was a U - shaped version. Reassured by Mike's later post.
