Halfords 3mm red tape :) You get miles of it so no problem if you mess it up. Although its pretty easy to do.

my girlfriend did mine for me this morning! She used 6mm tape from halfords...... i thought the 3mm looked too thin!!

Bit awkward to do the bends, however i left her to do the fiddly work and now it looks class!!!

I love my woman at work on the gti!! my two babies!!

Hi,

Can you put a pic on here so we can see what the thicker tape looks like?

Cheers

If you put the trim tape above a hot radiator first it helps the glue stick better and is easier to curve without ripples. :idea:

Prob not a radiator now thought but i did do mine in the winter lol
