After recieving 3 dents to my doors in 3 days from inconsiderate B*@#$*!s in car parks I've decided to get the protective door strips. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/mad.gif
However dealers say its a half hour job to 1 hour to fit, (eg £25-55). http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif If I want to fit it myself,(how difficult can it be? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif) what adheshive should I use, or does it come supplied with some? Cheers Iain |
In true Blue Peter tradition they come with dual sided sticky backed plastic. Clean the painted area well with white spirit before attaching. Easy peasy job.

Ken you're a star http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
I didn't think it would be rocket science! and certainly not worth £25-50 to fix http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif cheers Iain. |
Hey and Iain, they really work. Had mine on since new and not a single door dent or scuff!!!
Dave |
Where do you get the protective door strips and how much are they ???
|
PBH888!
just ring your local parts dept, £42.51 + vat, fitting extra, but Im doing it myself cheers Iain |
Iain,
Warming the adhesive strips with a hairdryer first also helps (seriously!!) |
Dave
does it have to have one of those girlie diffuser things on it or will my trusty travel one do http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif? Top tip Cheers Iain |
Fitted them tonight in about half an hour, dead easy http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
Thanks for all your replies Cheers Iain |
Thanks IainT , I have ordered a set but I have to wait alot longer than you as I live overseas in Trinidad ...
Oh are they colour matched or do they just come on Black ??? |

Trinidad? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif What are the roads like there? Yep they just come in black and I have Deep blue mica and don't look bad at all, dead easy to fit, tho' I expect you wont need a hair dryer to warm the adhesive http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif Cheers Iain. |
The roads to the seaside are great corners, a few hazards, up's and down's. Spend most of the time in 2nd and 3rd basically where the power is. And great echoes off the hillsides !!!

I'm sure that I've seen a posting somewhere that said that protection strips from Ford looked better and were even cheaper. Can anyone confirm this?
