What to stick wing emblem letters on with….

[poortomsacold]

Evening all

Hopefully a nice easy one for you tonight. I have some beautiful new front wings thanks to another forum user that I am hoping to fit in the next few days. They are from a 2.5i so I need to remove those numbers and replace them with my 3.0i ones.

Anyone know what the best double sided tape to use would be? Any tips on how to neatly cut around the numbers once the tape is stuck on and before they are stuck on the car? I have some double sided clear Gorilla tape but wonder if that’s a bit much (plus it’s not very easy to cut through!).

Thanks.

This stuff is great. Easy to cut with a new stanley blade too. Takes a little while to 'cure' but once done it's good stuff

Brilliant - thanks for the recommendation! Got a Screwfix just down the road and will be able to stick on about a million emblems with 5m of that tape!

Will pick some up tomorrow. Cheers!

Oh my hopes were dashed - Screwfix don’t have any in stock seemingly anywhere…..

I have some if you want it. I could probably fit it in an A5 envelope and post it.

That’s a really kind offer but I can see that you’re not terribly local so worry not - am sure I will find an alternative locally that I’ll be able to use. Thanks so much for the offer though - really appreciate it.

Have actually properly read your location! If you’d be happy to post some I’d be happy to pay! Thanks.

I don't want any money for the post, but I can't do anything until Thursday (so you won't get until at least Saturday). If that suits PM me your address and I will send it.
You looked up my location and thought it was in Canada somewhere didn't you? :lol:

Yep, a quick glance at your address and thought you were half the world away!

That would be really kind, thanks. Will PM you now. Thanks again!

Same stuff as discussed above. Scotch is a 3M brand.

Thankfully [ref]Pondrew[/ref], has sorted me out with some tape, so no massacre of the car with no more nails!

Right, that's it. You are going on my 'Foe' list. :lol: :rofl:
