WP, very fine slivers of rubber with a hole in to attach the trim to the bonnet should do it and so protect your paint. Try it out using paper first to get the perfect template.

Thanks - no problem, my pleasure!

Will do - but it's dark and cold out there now, so I'll try and take some decent shots tomorrow in the light. I feel a real twit not knowing about that button - I'm a bit of a Philistine when it comes to technology - a bit worrying as I work in IT!!

Cheers for now

While we're on the subject of gaskets I was fitting bits to the car today and wondering is there supposed to be a gasket between the inner front panel and the inner wing that it bolts onto?<br><br>

Tidy engine bay

Yes, there are supposed to be two vertical pieces of rubber flange which fit on to the front of the inner wing. You can get them from spares suppliers like ESM or Bullmotif.

Gosh, that macro button's a good invention isn't it? Whatever will they think of next?

Here's some better shots WP - hope these help!

Not perfect, but plenty good enough for me, the mascot has no movement at all now, feels good and solid and is well "insulated" from the paintwork so I'm more comfortable about that too.

I've taken pics of each side of the top and bottom fixings:









Cheers - Rick.

Good job thanks for the extra pics xx

ive just made a full set for the bonnet and boot
i find that if you cut them out about 1mm too small they will spread out nicely when tightened down so you wont have any overlapping rubber

Yeh, thats what we did.

Ok, I can't resist this any longer and it's nothing to do with this thread but here goes - wibble, can I ask if your hair is now going to be coloured to match your beautiful van?

Er......

Of course!




And may I say how nice it is to see a thread I am involved in staying on topic, for once

yippee, can't wait to see the photographs, though you definitely will not need to wear a gasket.
