I think they are a once only fit Naranja as they are glued on,as you know mine fell off because of the amount of glue wasnt enough for that one piece,so in hindsight if the glue is the strongest part of the fitting then its possible the plastic rails will snap with too much pressure during attempted removal.
Thanks (again) Andy. It's certainly looking that way. I might get the guy doing the work to have a look anyway, he takes trim off cars all the time so may have some ideas.
I think that's a very good idea and it had crossed my mind because I've been out the garage for a looksee. It seems the ends of the bars are 'clipped' on, as described to me by Andy c, but the middle bit is glued. I can feel a search for a hair dryer coming on...
FWIW, I have experience using a heat gun to soften glue. The particular application was the removable blade on a two piece hockey stick. From my experience, a hair dryer took a huge amount of time to generate enough heat to do the job. I switched over to a heat gun that had couple of heat settings and an adjustable vent control so you had a very good, continuous range control of the heat. I think it cost $35 or so a few years back. The hockey stick shaft was CF as I recall and the blade was wood.
Useful advice, thanks.
Posh,for stuck in a bucket of water ?????
Not far off! It's dipped in a tank of water which has a film of various patterns floating on top. As the item (grill bar in my case) passes through, it 'collects' the pattern from the film, transferring to the grill bar. In my case it'll be the carbon pattern. The finish is excellent once it's had a gloss coat. Any pattern or colour of carbon you like. Close inspection shows it's not real obviously but it should be fine for the grill bars.Posh,for stuck in a bucket of water ?????
Thanks for that, the amount of heat required had worried me so will go steady. Not going to get chance now as I'm off to Spain for a week or so but will be all over it when I get back.
Looks interesting,certainly better than wrapping as there will we not stretch of the pattern
Thankyou. PM sent....
Ha! Funnily enough we've been discussing the rear diffuser but his tank isn't big enough at the moment...Very impresive,any pointers on how you did it and how long it took you without breaking anything.?? Good job,now just the rear diffuser !!
