cool...i was thinking of colour coding as well...liquid nails will stop those people who might want to try and remove it. besides i have no intention of removing it, you also have plenty of time before it goes of to get it in the right spot. 3m double sided tape mmm i could pull it off.....silicone works well also...shane

liquid nails takes a while to set so you'll have plenty of time to wiggle it into the exact possie..

ahh

thanks for the feedback peeps..

I thought it set pretty fast, but that's alright then hahaha..

Liquid Nail it is!

I can't be fancy with colour coding like all of you..

My pearl white is a bitch to match.. I'm sure i'd have to spray it all together, otherwise it would look a bit funny..

yep, if you actually want it to match properly, you will probably have to do the whole bonnet, or you will find that the pearl white is different between the bonet and the addon. if u noe wat i mean

I like the carbon look so I won't be painting over it, so there's no problem there :]

You need a good eye, and also be in some decent lighting to tell the difference, but it would be minor.

you would be better of using a *clear*colour silicon such as roof and gutter due to it having no colour to it and it dont dry hard so it can still be cut lose with a piece of fishing string and the silicon be removed with a good wax and grease remover and no one will ever know it was there

unlike liquid nails which may eat the paint and if you try to remove it may take the paint with it
