Yes but make sure you don't pull them when fitting as they are rubber and stratch, i know i had 5mm extra over hanging the end of the door, and the double sided tape isn't the stuff that comes off easy.

Thanks guys, i knew someone on here would be able to help!
Does this company also supply fitting instructions with the strips? A mate of mine bought some a few years ago and they came with instructions giving you the exact measurements of where to stick them and he ended up with a perfect fit.
Only trouble is he cant remember the name of the company but he did say it had 3 initials in it - so AMI sounds like it could be the one.

...but there is a bit of a knack to keeping them straight as there is no alloy backing like on the originals... I did using a long ruler to rest on - came out great

Here's a pic or two of how I did it mate First run a line of tape at the distance described in the instructions - from memory 32mm up from the door line but check.

Start with the door as its the longest length. Tape the ruler at the bottom and align the strip on top by resting on it...



Then slide the ruler back and front to ensure alignment is the same...



This is how it works out - I used a meter long ruler here to achieve this
