unfortunately you cant as the company that makes it has gone bust

unless anybody knows where to get it elsewhere

Any crappy chav boyy racer shop. Its the old skool speed stripe old men used to put down their 'cool' escort's and cortina's etc. I had a roll in my garage I found kicking round from my dad's boy racer days!

LOL

got some grey tape ordered so we will see in a few weeks!!!

post pics chap when you get it on

Dont use the halfords tape, its crap and wont do the curve without creasing or being cut, I went to a local sign writers and got a couple of strips of 8mm thick red tape cut, its thinner than the halfords stuff and can be bent round without creasing with a little bit of heat, prob cheaper than the halfords stuff to but i got mine for free!
