I asked the guy in Halfords where the Rim Tape was and he said they didn't stock it. He said I must have seen it online 'somewhere'. I explained that I'd seen it on the Halfords site and that I'd been advised they definitely sold it. He still insisted they didn't, explaining "if we did we'd have it as we're one of the larger stores". All this was spoken with an attitude. Proper

i had an argument with them about flat wipers!

they were so cocky and confident that you couldn't get them for the ST and they didn't sell them (they weren't with the other wipers)

i left it and then wandered round the shop a bit further and bugger me there they were on a shelf round the other side of the rack!

i took them to the till where the same bloke was standing... i said "look at these wipers that don't exist and you don't sell!"

i didn't buy them i walked out leaving them on the counter with him looking very red and speechless haha stupid little chav learn your job!

They don't deserve my custom after speaking to me like that - I came home and ordered some from the link Dan put up instead. Apart from that it's also around a 45 minute round trip to Halfords and back (Blackpool is bigger than people think )

Thanks for the info anyway though Rob

If the weather is dry one night this week I'll have a go at it and stick some pics up. It does look a lot easier with the wheels off though

Way off topic but this thread reminds me of a headline I saw on some technology website a while ago about the playbook tablet thing, here's a link - http://lifeissavage.com/sorry-what-was-that-about-7-inches-and-rim-jobs/

Don't worry it's safe to view if you're at work!

Good luck with your wheel art.
