Just collected my brand spanking new Fiat 500 and it looks brilliant. Need to make it look even better and have some chrome bumper caps ready.

Only thing is the caps dont seem as close a fit as i expected so they are going to take a bit of gluing etc.

Can anyone advise what and where to get the correct adhesives etc and what technique to use.

Thanks
 
Hi Andy. Well that is me but i am no fan boy :) Hardly go on there since my injury

Collected the workshops tube of Tiger Seal this morning. I got warned to wear gloves as this '****' dont come off easily.
 
Well that went well/badly......

One of them went on a treat. Used copious amounts of masking tape and some packers to get it nice and tight. 3hrs later its fitted fine.

Other one just seemed very tight fit. As though it had bent in the box. These things are glorified plastic so a bit strange. Anyhow it needed more persuasion to stay in place so when i went back to it after 3hrs it wasnt sitting as well. Took it off, re glued (Existing glue was still soft) and put even more packers and tape on than before.

Going to leave it all night to set properly and hope for the best. Hope it works because it really looks good
 
Got any pics? (y)
