thorpy_st Site Supporter Registered: 26/11/11 Posts: 3631 Loc: stoke-on-trent	right i could do with help on 2 things: 1. for those of you that have been to DMB for stripe fitting, how much did they charge you for the job to be done on top of the price of the stripes?? 2. i want to remove the silver fog light surround to paint, is this easy to do as i had a quick look and it twists around but doesn't come out much and last thing i wanna do is snap it off!! cheers guys _________________________

Burn4 Site Supporter Registered: 25/05/10 Posts: 8576 Loc: Birmingham, England	haha. I took them off because I aligned them with the bumper strip whereas the stripes are aligned with the side skirt so it looked odd- one made the other look uneven and vice versa _________________________ My ST Mods

Alex_H Registered: 01/03/09 Posts: 15061 Loc: SE London	If your only going for side stripes I'd say fit them yourself Took me about 20mins and was quite easy, be easier with 2 people tho And Kenny - I was only thinking of your old car today, and come on here and theres pics up! How weird is that! Edited by Alex_H (25/04/12 08:19 PM) _________________________

Burn4 Site Supporter Registered: 25/05/10 Posts: 8576 Loc: Birmingham, England	Well I tried my own tints, Ash tried his own wrapping- both of us failed miserably Anything involving vinyl = pay an expert for £20 it's not even worth kneeling down by the car Duncan just said he did his and it took him 2 hours- the guy did mine in 10 minutes and they are perfectly straight, level and with no air bubbles Job done _________________________ My ST Mods

Im getting mine fitted for 30 but they are complicated. Why do it yourself and swear and get annoyed at it when you can pay someone? I won't be trying it again!
