Dodson Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 the red piping that some people have put round there GTI grille, where do i get some from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 It comes in a roll mate, i got mine from Halfords, there is around 2 metres worth or maybe more and it costs about 2 quid. I went for the 6mm (i think, it was that long ago) but you can get thickers or thinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went for the 6mm (i think, it was that long ago) but you can get thickers or thinner.Any pictures mate? and any brand names, or actual name of the tape?

Adam Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Not sure on the name, but its in a light blue box and it really is just "red tape" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Some people have used a hair dryer to help make the tape follow the curves of the bumper/grill but i just applied it bit by bit and gave it a rub over with a dry cloth. There are some pics in my readers rides, there is a link in my signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
