salsa-king Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 guess what I did all night till gone midnight!! warm the stuff up you can pull it about to get it to shape round the curve of the rear side light cluster. :)
Gaulson Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 You have done a very good job on these, I like them! :D
Scooby Pete Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 What time did you start? 6am :) Think I'm going to have to leave mine till the weekend.
salsa-king Posted April 16, 2014 Author Posted April 16, 2014 Its a bugger to do. Sent from my ST23i using Tapatalk
salsa-king Posted April 16, 2014 Author Posted April 16, 2014 The fog and reverse light no problem to do on the car. Dead easy. The sides, removed the cluster and disconnected it, then re fitted it to apply main part of it. Then removed it to shape side and trim down. Then put it back in place to apply more pressure to get the edges down. A quick blast of the hair dryer allows you to get creases out as you lift and re apply, use a spray of soapy water too!

salsa-king Posted April 16, 2014 Author Posted April 16, 2014 Started the sides just before 8. Got in bed 12-20 Sent from my ST23i using Tapatalk
Gambit Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Looks good mate a top job well done. I know ages ago when I was putting some vinyls on how hard it is. I too used the Missus hair dryer but I killed it :( so cost me another one of those :(
salsa-king Posted April 16, 2014 Author Posted April 16, 2014 Tbh I'm not that happy with the Os rear cluster so think I'll do it again. Sent from my ST23i using Tapatalk
salsa-king Posted April 16, 2014 Author Posted April 16, 2014 I've kept a spare set back just in case lol Sent from my ST23i using Tapatalk
salsa-king Posted April 16, 2014 Author Posted April 16, 2014 I've a few sets 0:) Sent from my ST23i using Tapatalk 1
Scooby Pete Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Totally changes the rear of the car, for the better. Not looking forward to doing mine though :(
salsa-king Posted April 17, 2014 Author Posted April 17, 2014 If you have a spare set of hands to give a blast of heat while you pull and stretch. It would help. I removed the side clusters so I could trim them easier, but apply while on the car is easier to give it pressure Sent from my ST23i using Tapatalk
4758nigel Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 looks good mate but makes me glad i got a classic lol don't think i'd have the patience to do that myself (i get quite particular when it comes to stickers)
salsa-king Posted April 17, 2014 Author Posted April 17, 2014 I can always take them off. Car looked better with the clear fog lens anyway. Sent from my ST23i using Tapatalk
Scooby Pete Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Disaster! Had the n/s reverse light done, bit of a pig as there was no where near as much bleed as in the vid. Had the larger one all lined up, had it stuck in place and was working my wat around the side had a fair bit up to the 1st bump done and then rrrrriiiipppppp. Was pulling the top edge, must have used a bit too much heat :( So I have had to take the good one off which of course ripped aswell. Such a fine line between doing it right and mucking it up. Tbh I think this is really a job for the pro's. Salsa if you have a spare set of n/s pass overlays maybe we could do a deal?
Gambit Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Unlucky mate I know how hard it is when I did a full set of WRC decals on my car looked good once you was stood far enough away
salsa-king Posted April 19, 2014 Author Posted April 19, 2014 Too much heat! I said just a quick blast. LoL I thought the same about the bleed. But as you work to the sides . Give it a blast of heat stretches it and gives you more to work with. I think my friend Craig messed up on the off side drivers side. I'll ask him. I had no issue going over the bumps in the side cluster. My issue was wrapping over the top edge lip without getting little creases on it. Sent from my ST23i using Tapatalk
salsa-king Posted April 25, 2014 Author Posted April 25, 2014 Do you still need a ns overlay Sent from my ST23i using Tapatalk
