3M DI-NOC CF vinyl repair?

[dvs_dave]

I've got some 3M di-noc CF effect vinyl on the front grille of my car. When it was first applied it fitted well however over time it's started to come unstuck in the inside corners/curves of the grille, almost as if there was too much tension in it across the curve.

Anybody got any tips or instructions on how to do effective repairs with this stuff?

Is it not possible to cut out the offending sections and splice in a new piece?

Yep, as paul has said it needs doing properly.

It should have been primed with 3m primer in those areas to stop lifting.
