    Doublesided tape should do.

    Right. Weird question.
    I've (and there is no other way to say this) just found out that some of the trim in my car is stuck on with blu-tack.

    Does anyone know what to use to re-attach a fake wood trim to a door, that doesnt damage leather or fake wood?

    Solid German craftsmanship! :pac:

    I've used poly cement from an air fix kit to glue manys a plastic

    I'd imagine asking in the detailing forum would get you an answer. It's surely a problem they've encountered before.

    I've seen some very dodgy results from people who have tried that.

    Yeah I wouldn't trust it. You could end up with a bad reaction with the plastic trim.

    I've used it a few times on different pieces of plastic and nothing bad has happened.
    Obviously test it in a small inconspicuous area first and then when doing it don't let any seep out.

    All BMWs use Bluetac as standard for all their trims.

    I seen my parents old ix35 there yesterday I was actually suprised to see it in Kilkenny as it was traded in to a garage in Longford. Looked in good enough condition I'd still prefer there Octavia to it anyway I just couldn't really warm to the hyundais at all even though they had 3 of them.

    I'm not sure that double sided tape is the way to go. Will have to research further.

    I can't remember who gave me the link for the cheap LL04 oil before lads, I of course didn't bookmark it so I can't find it no matter what I try!

    Whoever gave it to me, if you see this can you please link it again :o

    It happened. It finally happened

    Went for an auld shpinn round westmeath (anyone spot me?)

    I drove down this road, then turned down this narrow country road. It got progressively narrower in direct proportion to the grass in the middle of the road getting wider and taller. The grass suddenly turned into rushes the height of my bonnet and the road narrowed further. Eventually, staring in disbelief, I saw the road completely disappear infront of me and I am now in a field..... I had to reverse a long way back :pac:

    I found said magic road on google maps! Look at the rushes!!!

    Just seen an ad for "the all new bmw i3" their "first fully electric car"

    My opinion? It looks like an audi a2 had relations with a power station

    or in laymans terms

    Ew
