Fitting Lamin-x yellow.
« on: August 20, 2011, 09:31:47 am »
Today i will be mostly fitting yellow Lamin-x to my front fogs!  I may even take some pics along the way.  looks straight forward enough, but i am not the most practical of people.

Piece of cake mate, just be mindful of preparation which is the key to a successful job and make good use of a heat gun to mould the film nicely.   :happy2:

Look forward to the pictures.

Nice one  :happy2:

Half an hour? Guessing you stopped for a brew  :P

I found the wife's hairdryer gave enough heat to nicely make the film confirm.

Good work anyhow, looks good!

cant wait to try them out in some appalling weather!  simple little mod but somehow disproportionately pleasing.
