I know this has come up and been asked before but i got the red tape from halfords and having trouble getting it to stick. What was the original stripe made of? Was it like pressed into the bumper?
Its vinyl I think mate, quite thick stuff. I searched the UK and found one VW roll left in stock about three years ago. try cleaning up the bumper where it sticks first mate.
Yeah i have left it clean for about 2 months now, i mean not putting autoglym bumper care.
Might get in touch with a few body shop places and see what they got.
use an hair dryer when doing the job. it melts the glue and sticks a lot better.
yeah ok will try that. We got some stuff at work called edge sealer which is like a clear glue/lacquer that i was going to use. Its really good stuff but not sure how it would look on the bumper. Would be a masking tape job to prep it.
Jezza, I'd have thought the bumper would need a thorough degrease where the tape is gonna go if you want it to stick properly.
Agree with xandyx on using a hair dryer, especially in the cold weather. Warm the tape and the bumper too.
