Mike_M Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Halfords sell the tape for about £3.50 (10m). Its made by "Stripe" or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramirez Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I remembered the other person, it was Loopy Lupo who modded hisHe used a part off an old VW, but this was a bit complicated for me seen as though id need to find an old Beetle and thats not possible around here.All it was is an air cooled beetle wing beading kit in red, any air cooled specialist will be able to supply you with it, and to be honest it looks like it a factory job when done.Hope this helps.

GTi T Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> I asked the parts guy in Halfords today and he said they dont do swage tapeWould all Halfords have the same thing or is mine just poop?Surely they stock the same?Do you have the packet still?or receipt with the product number??cheers Edited January 24, 2006 by GTi T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 i bought mine in one of the larger stores, tho they didn't have that much!can check for you see if i can find a number for you. if you can't get it in halfrauds, you can probably find it in a one of those backstreet car accessory shops.

Vixwagen Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Halfrauds staff won't know what you're on about if you ask!! When I went in I told them what I wanted to do and the sales assistant said they didn't do anything remotely like it. I searched the shop and found exactly what I wanted - Lupogtiboy is right - it's by the no smoking stickers etc...it's the stuff boy racers use for "Go faster stripes", sold in rolls of either 3mm, 6mm, 9mm or 12mm, and only about £3.99 a roll!!
