johnwood Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 is it possible to recover these?, or at least stick the vinyl back down so it looks good again? Has anyone had any success or will i just have to find a nice one second hand? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hodgie Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 A nice second hand one?? Oxymoron I think! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnwood Posted September 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 so something second hand cannot be nice?, or is oxymoron a new type of adhesive to glue the vinyl, or maybe some type of heat treatment to stretch it back to shape? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hodgie Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 In this case, I hope it's the latter. Let me know, 'cos I've been looking for an age. I think the warp factor set in as soon as they left the factory Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnwood Posted September 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Ok Alec, I'm up for a challenge Is Tom your son? I've got an american spec front bumper for him, when he collects it give him a shelf to drop off and I will have a go at it. I can then post the results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRishaTR Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 You can always do what I did and recover the shelf in carpet. IMO it looks better than the original and you won't get any lifting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnwood Posted September 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 The original covering is thinner than Blue Peter sticky back plastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
