What method are you using to adhere the laminated decals to the bodywork?

Does the underbonnet temperatiure affect the laminationg materail and / or the decal itself?

I take douple-sided tape. Works good since 2013 and 40 000 km 12 A BP . Underbonnet temperature was sometimes very hot without any issue. Hope these helps Dave.

The more then 30 years old racing beat exhaust sounding more and more londer in these days Perhaps some to do with the bridgeport breath. I wanted to put of the muffler but not so easy when the car was lowered. BTW i shoot a good picture show you a cheap, functional and easy way center the rear axle put a new hole in the bodyshell. The mod working good since many years and save you the money buy adjustable panhard rods.
