As with everything it seems preparation is the key... made sure ALL the old tape/glue was removed from the backs (used some standard thinners and they just peeled off, more or less after a bit of a soak) so they were nice and clean and flat, you don't want to have to put tape over old tape!!!



Bought some proper 3M Acrylic tape (20m x 12mm). Expensive at £33 + VAT but worth it and you only need about 7m-ish so you'll have loads left over... gonna be selling some of mine to a mate who wants to do his! Lay it on as close to the edges as possible with extra on the ends where they normally start curling and press down hard (see pic earlier in thread)...



You need to make sure the paintwork's nice and clean too, fortunately i've just had bodywork done so they were perfect... I just used an LCD tv cleaning cloth to remove the dust!!!

Then I just fit them by eye... but the tape's so feckin strong you only get one chance to get them in the right place really!!! I lined each one up so it ran along the top of the body swage line and marked with a faint pencil line.

It was suggested above about gently heating strips up to help them go on flat but I didn't bother, the tape's strong enough to pull the curled edges in (and I had a dream I heated them up and the tape all melted in a gooey mess!!! ).

They're not 100% perfect but I think they look ok when looking from the normal standing level, but I need to get it outside and look at it properly!!!
