Polo R line red stripe

Post by scott88 »

Hi,

I've bought the r line polo and I'm wanting the red stripe across the front but not sure where I could get it done.

So any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Scott

hey mate, the vinyl sticks and doesn't peel or bubble what so ever when wet! so it's pretty good! it is easy to take off though if you don't like it, also the badge has been plasti dipped, i got the can off ebay and all it is is a rubber coating spray can, you spray it over the badge and it layers it in a satin rubber effect, once you don't want it on anymore just simply peel it away and you will have your chrome badge back :) i have links for both if you want, let me know

Would you have a link for the red vinyl you used? did you glue it down or how does it stick? going to buy a tin of plasti dip, looks like a good job!

unscrew the 2 screws on the inside of the boot trim, and theres about 8 poppers on the inside of the trim, i got a big flat head screw driver in there and popped each one out, then it should fall off and then you unplug the chip thats connected to the badge, unscrew the 3 screws and it should slot out :D
