Evenin all,
just fitted some sidesteps and front and rear mudflaps. All went well and the car looks great.
My question is about the fitting of a bright finish air intake grille. How do I gain access to remove and refit the grille?
I have also bought bright finish door waist trims. The instructions are quite specific about not fitting them unless the temp. is a minimum 20 deg C. for 24 hours to allow the bond to complete. So that will be August then!

I used a hair dryer to warm them (the rubbing strips) up.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

Alan, If you have double radiators - put your heating on about 21oC - lay the strips across the top for a few hours - after doing your measurements, whip them straight out to the motor and stick them on - works a treat - as long as it's mild then don't worry too much about the outside temp thereafter, its the fitting temp thats critical 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
