No its gloss, thought it looked better because it matches the glass perfectly and when i looked @ my dads A6 for reference it was also gloss.

Yes

Nice one, cheers mate. May have to see about doing that myself, and the aerial, I looked at mine on a pic the other day, it looks massive.

It just takes time and a bit of sneeky know how, because its quite a difficult area to cover without f*****g it up. I wish i could do a proper walk thru but its like a got to be there thing. I cant see what the vinyl is behaving like etc.

I recon i could do it easy 2nd time, by the last bit i was pro.

I was like that with my sill protectors, the first one took me ages to measure it, make a template and cut it whereas the 2nd one was a piece of cake because I knew what I was doing.

Did you offer it up to the car and mark it before cutting it?

Yeh, i stuck some tracing paper on and made a template first off. Then transfered it onto the sticker. Dude u got any pics of the sills? I almost got some off ebay but then forgot to bid

Yeah here they are, the hardest bit about sticking them down is getting them under the black seal, they still only took about 5 minutes max to stick on.





You got any close ups of the B Pillars?

Only 1, sorry...

Must have been a right bastard getting it round the lip at the window edge, so no silver was showing!

yeah i bet that was a right lil b***h...its not exactly like u could say oh i'll start there n work around because of angles etc

we only keep seeing one side of the car lol - is that because you've not got round to the other side lol

Na thats because the path is really small and so when u stand and take a picture u cant see the whole of the car, but if u insist it looks equally sexy facing the other way if you want some pics
