MickJ Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Thanks for the replies and links, would seem that Halfords would be the path to go down, as someone said it looks good on the darker cars has anyone done it on a Ultra Yellow Zed and wish they hadn't, which leads me on to ask how easy is it to remove should you wish to? Cheers Mick This time tomorrow it will be all mine, mine I tell you....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnybanjo Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 They look better with the strips than without, but mine kept peeling off in the heat last summer. I have since replaced the strips with a chrome grill from the States. Much better and no regrets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 had no problems with mine from halfords. Stayed glued on no probs. Good tip is to use a hairdryer to warm the surface up and to make the chrome strip more pliable. And before anyone mentions it, I borrowed the hair dryer.

sl114 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Mathys - here's the chrome grill I have, after the strips fell off in the heat.Not a fan of that to be honest, it looks stuck on and out of place, i far prefer the added chrome bits you can add to the existing bumper. Marks however looks cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Marky, I've put a couple of pictures in my gallery, one taken yesterday on my phone, the other taken at a mini meet we had in Stirling last year with Gus and Chris from Funkystyling. They show the front grill reasonable clearly. Hope this helps. Sorry, I've forgotten how to get the pictures into the message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Mick Don't bother with the type I bought off ebay some weeks ago. When they eventually arrived not at all what I imagined, strips of round chromed plastic beeding cut to lengh that push's on the lip worth about 10p crap.

Dude, just do it and if you dont like it, take it off. If you dont experiement you will not know what you like or dont like. Different people have different opinions so do what YOU want to do to your car and not what others want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
