Yeah they only had 12mm pin stripe. The thickness of the genuine ones are like 20mm and wrap around.
The bumpers are good so only did the doors. Just gotta reinstall it. I'll use some silicone inteckon

Ah yeah bumpers are much harder to renew.. the rear needs a thin tape, (not a moulding like these are) and the front needs a thick mould.

Lil update. Bought a t5 off josh_ef that wasn't selecting first gear.
So I got it back to work and pulled it down. Sure enough the synchro slide thing was only moving one way. So a spray of brake cleaner and a bit of tapping with a dead blow hammer i had it in first. Then out and back in etc etc. still going to pull the main shaft down and clean all bearings and synchros. Just need to buy a new clutch and cable and im in business.
Does any one have any info on what I need to do to the transmission computer to get it to work without the auto?
Cheers

has the saas tape lasted? I find it didnt last to long.
But found wheel arch mouldings at super cheap auto and auto barn are like the same stuff as factory.

The saas was too narrow at 12mm. I need something that's wider like 16-20mm.
What's that stuff like? How wide and thick?
Cheers

from what I remember the front chrome strips are pretty much triangular, door stripes are easy to fix don't even have to remove the moulds.

There was but it was lost.

Someone thought they would try a new pin stripping technique and also a new paint job.

so you've moved from the place that i came to and it still happened?
that sucks dude

i feel your pain in some way as someone in my street will call the cops as soon as an unregistered car is in the street. i copped a $700 fine for having the panelvan parked in the street on the weekend, even though its got a permit.
people have nothing better to do apparently.
i'd be raging at everyone in the street if there was any damage though, poor ****

Might be my neighbour. Because where I park it, apparently it "obstructs" her drive way on the other side of the street and its hard for her to drive her BMW 318i out the drive way.
Honestly I could drive a bus out her drive way and still have room to move around.
Fucking women

Dick smiths have a cheap CCTV system you can buy and hook up. They are $450 iirc, called a swan system.
Catch the little fuckers and ram their heads through your windscreen.
