Andy665 0 Posted August 3, 2005 Don't do it - get yourself some of the 3M film I have just got - complete kit for headlights, fogs and indicators (though these weren't listed as part of the kit http://eurosportacc.com/lamin-x.htm I didn't get charged any import duty and tey arrived within about a week - just as effective as the plastic guards and a damn sight more subtle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted August 4, 2005 Yeah, I was looking at that stuff the other day after you posted the link. It might be worth investing in some as I've got brand new headlights... Is the clear stuff really 20mm thick tho?!? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted August 4, 2005 More like a few mm, plenty thick enough to stop lenses cracking though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You got any pics of them on your car? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted August 5, 2005 I was assuming they're 1mm or so thick, it's just that the clear stuff is referred to as 20mil? :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 5, 2005 The plastic guards were a pain. They were on my car when I got it and I either binned them or gave them to Supercharged I think! Moss and stuff used to grow behind them, which meant periodically removing them completely....and they look gay (no offense Mr owl :lol: ). The 3M film is fit and forget :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted August 6, 2005 I went for the clear, will be fitting them today and will pst some pice - all pics will probably do is show how invisible they are though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craigowl 0 Posted August 6, 2005 kevhaywire said Moss and stuff used to grow behind them, which meant periodically removing them completely ?? - Aint seen that happen. Been on Peugeot for about 13 years. Some small cracks now, though. On Peug and C both, they unclip easily when you wash the car so you can wash headlamp lenses and behind plastic guards - takes seconds. You must be talking about type different to mine, I reckon.

That's what I'm thinking, I actually dont think they stand out at all and no one has commented on them at all and taking them off doesnt even take 5 seconds.

Andy665 0 Posted August 8, 2005 Put the 3M film on last night, took me less than 15 mins to do the headlights, fogs and indicators - totally invisible when in place so photos are a bit of a waste of time - certainly think that it will stop cracking of lenses Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted August 8, 2005 I think I might be getting me some of that stuff then. 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
