Hi Wozza, can you please share a picture of how the cover has been secured to the mirror, what kind of adhesive was used. any help will be greatly appreciated
Hi, sorry in the rush to get the things on the car I didn't think to take any pictures. The first set were trimmed roughly to size (+2-3mm). The originals given a good clean with panel wipe and then the new skins were bonded on with standard black PU (Sikaflex) held in place with masking tape until cured. Once cured the skins were given a final trim and a quick polish.
Because of the higher temps the engine cover was done using epoxy resin (with some black pigment added). A layer of resin was brushed over the original, the new skin fitted and the whole thing vac bagged.
