i like that , i have a full set of proper trim still to fit but i m dithering on drilling my new paint , not confident enough lol

NOOOOOO don't do it. If you want delix trim spash out the cash for it. That stick on trim will look cheap and nasty IMHO...

But it is your bus so you do what you like

 

[Foz]

It does seem very cheap doesn't it? Maybe a better quality item would be the preferred choice to fit.....

Well, let's be honest, it's not going to be an overly expensive experiment!

Buy it, try it, share the result

to be honest my bus is not a show and shine so im not willing to send £275 for deluxe trim then have the nightmare of drilling the body work, for what it cost on ebay if i don t like it i can remove it and i only lost £20 or so, if it looks acceptable as i seems to look on the green bus in the pics then ill be happy. my bus is clean and tidy and is used by me and my kids age 10 and 12 so things get spilt and so on :lol: we use it as a camper ans not a show bus

Mines definately not a show bus either and I also have you ng kids who are 5 and 22 months. I bought it, built it to use and not to shine and put away in the garage. It's quite ratty on the outside but I still love it. It's used and abused, the kids jump and climb all over it. But, and it's a big but, I don't want to have to wear a mask when I drive it ;-)

But like I said it's yours so you do what you like, personally I think it will cheap. In this day and age you get what you pay for. Simple as.

Another but... Like you said it's not a huge out lay to see how it looks

So suck it and see and let us know how it turns out. (or to put it another way prove me wrong )

a mate got some simliar stuff from lidl and did his van, looks the nuts from 5 M away the only real give away was the ends, get a nice silver pen to coulor in the ends where you cut it and it'll help finish it off!

saw it on another van once. nNot meaning to piss on your chips but it stood out like a sore thumb and made the bus look Ghetto.
run it as it is, leave that stuff to the Corsa boys.

This would have looked much better if he had cut it into the same length sections as they were originally.
