Location: Bromley, Kent		Just had my first wheel arch done and Sean found a way of removing them totally mint.

What's the best tape to use for sticking them back on?

I currently have some green double sided foam tape from Halfords that I use for numberplates etc... But not sure if strong enough for strips.

Cant see any tape being strong enough..? 

Bang a little tiger seal on, wont peel off in a hurry.

Location: Bromley, Kent		They are held on with tape from new?

Heat gun and a piece of welding wire to saw through the glue.

use tiger seal, or something from 3m

seriously, tiger seal is so good. if you squirt a thin bead of it, when it dries you can use it as shoelaces

Location: birmingham		As said use tiger seal they wont come off in a hurry. Yeh they are originaly held on with double sided tape but you will never get all the remains of the old tape off the back of the strip for the new tape

Have you got a product name/ number, Adrian?

Also, it's now rained and I've driven the car, so panel wipes or what for the paint?

Location: Bromley, Kent		So my inpatience and persistance meant I discovered some tape through recomendation from a work colleague.

3M Very High Bond (VHB)

Off ebay inc postage it works out at about £15 and MIGHT need a second roll to finish the 2nd side. Will update.
