lol yeah well if you make sure theres no bubbles so theres nothing to catch on then it shouldnt peel it at all
Yeah good plan, id get one that doesnt even touch it tbh even though theres a 50mm limit apparently

Jack just look at mine, I have 18" blades and it just goes onto the sun strip, but I've had this sun strip for over a year

 

[mcjacko1987]

holes in chassis and thats all i know. got ripped off realy by a mate that did mot, only did half of it and said its to bad to continue and it would cost £700 to repair, £400 for me, he didnt complete the test nor give me a fail certificate. so itl be going to an other garage for mot. hes never liked my car as its a punto so think he just wants me 2 get rid tbh.
oh and the rear suspension bushes

 

[mcjacko1987]

BACK ON THE ROAD after much pi55ing about to get it sorted. 4 times i had mot done in 2 weeks haha. but anyways cars up on the go again thank god so thats my crimbo plans still on the go thank god.

just want to say cheers to paul (bredsticz) for helping me out..... top lad gud m8

 

[JustAndy]
