Re: Rubbing Strip insert Colours
Leave the bumper in the sun for a couple of hours before removing the strips. The heat makes the bumper and strips much more pliable.

Re: Rubbing Strip insert Colours
Oh poo! I bought several Claret front bumper strips, the idea being that I could use them to replace the side strips as well...........WRONG!
I’ve just taken one out of the packet and found that they’re smaller AND the side ones are glued and not clipped in!
What a Plonker!

Re: Rubbing Strip insert Colours
Yes. The side ones are symmetrically domed, but by virtue of lying along a corner, the bumper
ones have a slightly 'sheared' dome profile. The side ones are attached with tenacious double-
-sided adhesive strips. Your new spares should find takers if you offer them for sale.
It would be good if the extrusion tools survive.
