Currently re waxoyling the underside to help the car last another 20 years ! Had an idea about running a very thin strip of clear silicone around the top of the kit to help stop water getting behind it. The kit fits perfect and i reckon you would'nt see it unless you got really close. Anyone tried this ? Will silicone react with the paint ? Anyone got any other ideas ? Am i being a muppet ? cheeRS

 

i wouldn't myself. the car in your sig looks mint keep on top with wax oil. if u ever have to move the kit you may end up with a nasty dirt line.

 

Silicone wont do any harm to the paint.

Most of the 'water' will be coming in from underneath tho' flicked up by the wheels. All you will be doing is stopping air from getting in to help dry it out.

 

Mine had the gaps sealed before being repainted...don't ask me what was used tho: previous owner did it. Think it looks very good myself, and does a job of keeping the crap from getting stuck in the gaps...altho I wouldn't want to be replacing anything on it being all smoothed

 

my kit was bonded onto my S2 and did a top job keeping out the water, only thing is it's near on impossible to keep the bodykit intact if you remove it.

I would recommend silicone or something similar though
