Help......

Postby PT FTO » Fri Jun 24, 2005 1:08 am

Guys, found this link in the knowledgebase forum for the peeling headlight fix but it just links me to some strange model making site :?: :?:

http://www.wolfslairmodels.com/peeling.htm

Does anyone have the right link for the peeling repair process.

I need it as I finally picked up the car yesterday from Newcastle. The drive back to Dublin was just :D :D :D , I could not stop smiling all the way. The car is A1, bodywork, engine etc. The only thing that I need to do is to repair the peeling headights. Will post some pics ASAP.

But that just links to the same site, nothing to do with headlamp repair :!: :!:

No probs...

I had a go at it myself a month or two back, made a huge difference to it (scrapes as well as peeling) but I mustn't have sanded or cut enough 'cos its started peeling a bit here and there again already. :?

Let us know how you get on with it!

As deepseadcs said, Halfords. I just happened to be next to one on a trip so popped in and grabbed some.

I think there's one in Blanchardstown?
