Firstly as I had requests for an updates on the wedge wrapping I thought it time to give you the low down!!!

If anyone tells you its easy ignore them!! I have a great big roll of the stuff and I can't get it right, I have tried wrapping the the driver wing 3 times and all I have is a large ball of screwed up plastic. Firstly getting the material on the body is difficult in itself, but when I do get it on I don't get a very good finish. The guys on the videos make it look so easy, But I've tried and I think it could be time to give it up as a bad job and put it down to experience. One peice of good news was from a guy at work how said at least we have learnt not to try it............ I won't repeat what I said. Anyway having rubbed down the paint on the fron to the car I'm now working out my options, to paint, get someone else to do it or 2 gallons of petrol and a match AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Anyway second topic, whilst stipping the car down I found the indicators are rusted through (even more good news) I found this link online are these the right ones?
