So... My DMB overlays have been superb... Cant fault them!

However the ones i bought for my other half... AWFUL!!!

the only one that hasnt peeled off was the steering wheel one!!

I rsorted to gorilla glue and superglue in the end!

And its not like i didnt do teh same thing either.. Im convinced it has something to do with the fact i have a silver backing, and hers is white... but i obviously cant prove that without buying more!!

I have the carbon print ones on the front badge and the steering wheel,

they both had silver backing and are on the car since november 2010

i have a blue badge on the rear and it had a black backing, its been on the car since november 2011 and its perfect too mate,

so as you say it must be somthing to do with the white backing,

Thats the only thing i can think of mate...

A stroppy email may be going there way!!

hi dave, mine had white backing on them.. front and rear badges are fine and steering wheel badge is fine... but the wheel ones lasted about a week if that so i pulled them off...

i sent an email and all i got back was how i must have installed them wrong... which i know full well i didnt!! but i cant prove it lol hense the warning i gave you earlier on in the post...

Yeah... Thing is I know how to apply vinyl lol used to do it as a job!!! My carbon ones are beautiful! Stuck so well! No complaints!! These white ones however are awful!! Still nothing gorilla glue or superglue didn't sort lol they look great now lol

I will not be defeated!!!

Little update,

Looked into the footwell lighting the other day, and to my surprise i found out that the bulb holders were already there!

Now not getting too excited, i asjed my mate for a couple of Bulbs (I was at his garage at the time) and to my amazement, after putting my free bulbs into the holders, they lit up!!

- Colour Code Fog Surrounds

- Colour Code Bonnet Lip

- iPod integration for stereo (not sure how yet... but I'm researching!) Not iPod but MP3 USB Stick... As Good As...

- Footwell Lighting For FREE!! Result

nice one mate,

i had to retro-fit mine

have you any plans to fit some rear footwell lights too?

i have fitted some to the rear footwells and spliced the power in to the loom on the front footwell lights.

No plans yet lenny...

Just had 2 new tyres... and service next week... so all plans of spending money are off!! (unless i find a cruise control steering wheel for cheap lol)

Hey,

I'm thinking of doing the bonnet strip black, and also my fog light surrounds!

Have you done your fogs yet?

Not yet no... Had other thing taking up my spare time!!! I need to tho, will finish the look!!

Well its August and i have done NOTHING to the car!

Various things have been taking up my spare time, and works been manic!

Blimey. that is shiney.

Cricky. I wish I had the energy to do that!

All my energy goes into sorting other peoples lives out for them at the moment! how long you spent on it today?

Snowfoam took 15mins, 10mins to dwell...

Pressure wash took 10 mins,

Bucket Wash took about an hour and a half, rinsing panels as I went.

Half hour drive to air dry the car...

Wheel wash 15 mins

30mins to quick detail it,

Then on to the polish, bout hour and a half,

Alloy seal and tyre gel,

Bumper care all non colour coded plastic...

All in all about 6 hours... Lol

Ok, so today the car had some more minor mods... Debadging!!

Hadnt got round to it on this one, Its normally the first thing i do on all my cars! I was though on this one, unsure if i wanted to or not.

A quick before and after pic for you all!

I like it, I'm about photoshop mine because i don't know whether to do my own. Im unsure about having just the TDCI badge left there to be honest, I'm one for all gone or none. It may grow on me, il look at it again in 5 minutes ha.

Haha!

I know what you mean.. I left the TDCi badge on my last one too... I kinda like people knowing its a diesel... For various reasons ;) lol

Iv looked at it again, its kinda grew on me. Looks just lonely thats all Dave. I really wished i got a TDCI now.. take your badge off and il feel much better. <_< Haha.

So i presume your sticking with it like that now yeah? It looks much cleaner I'm going to de-badge mine tomorrow.

Yeah that's how it's gonna stay!

Need to plan the next stages of minor mods now...

Hello Everyone!

Been a little quiet on here recently! been concentrating on my new hobby (if you can call it that!) which has taken up a lot of my free time!

Sadly ive not had chance to do anymore on the car, ive also been trying to fix the missus focus... glowplug loom is melted :s Only thing i have done is replace the battery in my keyfob!

so onwards and upwards, hopefully some minor mods coming,

Evening officer ;)

Evening Stoney!
