Put me down for a set please gers

OK Guys.. I got the Graphics cut today, so anyone whos wants a set if you could PM me with your details I will send them out ASAP..Would you like me to post a detailed "HOW TO" on this??, as its not just as simple as whacking them on,as they wont come with Application Tape, its not difficult but it is a bit fiddley and takes a wee bit of time......

Jack The Lad. · 21st March 2008, 20:44

Yes gers, a "How To" please. (2 Sets).
P.M. on its way, after I have raided "Er Indoors" purse, as you would like cash.

gers · 21st March 2008, 21:15

Oki Doki.. Here we go....

1. Clean caps well with warm soapy water.
2. Put a VERY SMALL amount of washing up liquid in a medium sized coffee mug and fill with COLD water.
3. Gently lift the "H" from the backing paper by folding the paper at the corner of the "H" and lift off.
4. Dip your finger in the water and spread it over the adhesive side of the "H" making sure its well covered.
5. Position on the cap as close as you can to the Black H and drop it on to the cap, you will then be able to move it about to get it to fit just right.
6. When you are happy with the position, hold it in place with 1 finger and GENTLY rub across the whole thing to expel the air bubbles and access water.
7. Leave to dry for at least 15 mins, before doing the same for the Outside Red Line.

Easy as that

Good Luck

here are mine, original + just the red "H" . do they need the full type R look with the red outline as well? the last ones are genuine type r centre caps.

gers · 2nd April 2008, 10:18

The red H and the black line does looks well together, its a nice contrast..(dare to be different)

, Glad you got them on OK ....

gray52 · 2nd April 2008, 11:24

ive now gone for the full red outline, so the full type r look, and i must say they look brighter than the original type r ones. will look very nice with my milano red. the set also works out £82 cheaper than an original set!! they are easy to fit as well just follow the how to from gers.

i would add the following:- if you have any marks on the caps then cut these 1st as it will be very hard when the stickers are applied & wet your finger with the solution when you remove the sticker and when its off the backing go around it will more solution and this will give you plenty of time to line it up, then dab with a tissue to dry the excess from the cap & sticker. im going to leave them for 24 hours to cure fully.

thanks, "gers".

robbo51 · 2nd April 2008, 12:27

So...Do these fit straight over the 'black' decal or does the 'black H' have to removed first (somehow)?

There is no need to remove the Black, (Its pad printed on then clear coated on top would be a nightmare to try this) The Red graphic is the same size as the Black print,and so just drops on top...

gray52 · 2nd April 2008, 13:49

robbo they are easy to fit, just follow the how to and the bit ive added. they will look the biz on on yours.

keeping the original "h" makes it very easy to keep everything lined up and you get them spot on everytime. well worth the money.
