Got a little delivery from STEALER



Still waiting on a few bits to come in

Bits I'm most chuffed with are the light covers. When I got my gen rear led's The backs were missing. Now

Ok picked up the laminX this morning. I went for subtle tint again. Thought I'd show you how I do it.

Lay out your laminX to check to have ordered enough lol




I cut my sheet in half, flipped it over and found the best way to lay the film




Once I've found the best way to wrap the light I score the backing paper at a corner. This will then leave a impression on the film so you know where to start




I then peel back just past that marking




Start laying the light gently on that mark




Flip in over and run you finger up and down pushing the air out




Take your other halfs hair dryer and heat the film up abit at a time. This isn't essential but makes the film easier to work with




Pull back abit more paper and work you way along push the air out.




Keep repeating this process




Till you cover the whole unit




I then make some cuts at any sharp corners, like this




I then break the hair dryer out again and heat edges that are left and pull then tight over the edge of the light. Info this because I want to trim behind the light so you have no edges when fitted




I then start trimming up.




You Should end up with a clean cut




Run the finger round with abit of heat just to close up and lifted parts




results. A pretty much bubble free finish






Don't worry if you do get any bubbles. I get this small grouping. The material Has pours. So once it's been on the car for a few weeks the air will go. Just give the bubbles a small push every now and again and it will go. Don't bother using a pin or anything on then. Just leave them. Also when it's been on a few weeks give them a coat of wax and the come up like paintwork

Hi Paul,

My DIY skills now go as far as getting the LaminX out of the box.. then I'm lost!!!

You also need to move closer to West London ! then you can do my lenses like this as well!

Catch you soon..

Cheers, Dennis!
