Seriously though Halfords do a double sided sticky tape that is for fixing exterior body trim which should be OK, otherwise you could ask David Hendry cars who import the zero/sports gear as they may be able to help

then the usual suspects turned up ... spec c, tiny, cookie but only about 10 of us ever made it to battersea park... who knows where the other 70 odd got to

Nope, I hadnt forgotten, I'm a Blue Peter badge Winner dont you know so came up with a clever plan .

After dry fitting several times I had the problem sussed.

My plan was to attach the carbon bit to the grill itself off the car and not to the actual bumper after grill fitted, allowing for a future de-tango

So I offered it up to the grill, secured with masking tape to simulate being stuck, and amazingly it worked first time... I was able to remove grill with carbon bit intact and there was sufficient surface area for carbon bit to bond to just the grill off the car.

I removed the Masking tape and whent for the Live fit, I used some trim tape that has stuck it like the proverbial **** to a blanket .

Rest assured its gone to a work very good home and has done the sights of London last night on the tunnel cruise, proudly on the front of the car

Right where can i get some carbon for the rear
