I use IPA , but maybe the vinyl.I bought was rubbish.

Ok, it's an option I will look at.

Hi trout, I have considered this approach, but when I've used it in the past it has lifted, despite thorough cleaning with ipa, in the heat of the summer ( remember those?) The metal ones look a bit more substantial, however I'm unable to see how they stick on without creating a snag point around th...

Nice job. Does the foam tape cause them to stand proud a bit, not flush, as I can't visualise how it wouldnt?. The tape I see on these trims is a couple of mm thick.

Nice but yikes! Did you fit them or were they already on there? I'm guessing they use d/s tape too but they do look very flush to the bodywork

The ink blue paint job seems to relish collecting slight marks, so I was looking to offer some protection on the door cill at least.

I would have expected someone to have changed it during that time, but I agree with you, it doesn't look like it. I'm concerned that the amount of oily dirt on there is a sign of another, more expen...

This car was 'serviced' 5000 miles ago. I'm a newbie to diesels, but I'm guessing they 'forgot' to replace the air filter or is this normal for diesels?

Well, having just got a 67 plate 1.6dci I immediately find myself on the forum with a very similar issue. Just been to Cornwall and back and noticed an annoying 'jiggle' that feels like I'm driving on a washboard. There is sone wobble through the steering, but minimal. Brand new rear tyres, balanced...
