Thanks for all the advice and tips , I will be using them on Wednesday , after work . Rob

The bonnet has been painted recently . I did wait before sticking , when I do it again this week I will give it more time Rob

Shame bud , was looking forward to seeing your transformed car .

Won't see you on Sunday them Sean ?

Thankyou very much Tiger , are you going to Volksfest ? . If not I'm sure I could borrow one from Robbie R32 . Rob

He will vagcom it Rog , should be straight forward . No these have to be glued on Supercharged . Rob

Thanks James , my friendly mechanic will have the car on Wednesday , hopefully it will only be a sensor and not the pump ! Rob

Thanks mate it's much appreciated ! . Having an early night tonight and try to get some sleep without thinking about it . Will see how I feel tomorrow after work . I've got this week to get it ready for Volksfest , so I will do as much as I can in the evenings . Rob

Thanks both of you . Abs light came on and stayed on today as well . Deep breath and start Monday evening to get it ready for Volksfest . I've put so much into this car , I really feel like enough is enough sometimes !

Take a look at what I put up earlier bud . Going to try again during the week , not a happy bunny right now ! Rob

It's naused up !

Not sure if it's cellulose or water based Ray . James I was using the spirit to remove the glue I had put on , I thought I would use this instead of thinners as it's less harmfull .will restick the foam next week , maybe it was not dry enough when I shut the bonnet .

Just spoken to the bloke who painted the car and he thinks it's the white spirit that's agitated the paint .

Yes it's lacquered , Jim .

Ray it was the 3m 80 , Loepan , no it should not blister the paint , worried sick about this now .

The recommended glue to stick the bonnet foam has now blistered my new paint !!!!!. I can't believe this , I really can't . It says it may effect some paint . But blister it ??!!. I am now going to have to find some other way of sticking it to cover up the damage . Really didn't need this before Volksfest .

Just found Jims post and I have used the correct glue , not sure what I've done wrong ?

I have chucked the instructions now , I'm sure it said 3m 80 ?? Just come back to the car , From putting it on this morning and it's all fallen off .

I decided to put my foam on this morning , must have spent an hour offering up then thinking , then offering it up . I s?&t myself doing this job ! My hands were shaking so much as I didn't want to nause it up . It's all on , I did get a small amount on one piece on the wrong side , which now won't come off . No use crying about it though what's done is done . Doing this sort of job brought back memories from way back when I used to be a decorater . Me and the governor had to hang silk wallpaper in the mayors chambers in London . At £180 a roll of paper we couldn't help but shake .

As Hasan said , I did this before I bought a new set .

No one ? Someone must have a pair or even one kicking about in a tin . Rob

Delete , obsolete , all gone .

Ask around , do any of your mates know an auto electrician ? Anyone you know how to use a multimeter ? . Finding out what the problem is , will be a lot cheaper than replacing parts and guessing what the fault is . I've made this mistake and others on here and it can be very expensive . Rob

Lol , I've never seen that before .
