Bought this ten days ago from Ali Express it arrived this morning fully tracked all the way.
I was expecting a long box and worried slightly that it would get bent in it’s travels from China to Cumbria.
I needn’t have worried as it came very carefully rolled up in a box about 18” square.
It’s really nice quality highly polished stainless steel fitted with a decent amount of 3M tape to adhere it.
I washed the car first then after drying I wiped the area with alcohol to remove any grease, I then just revealed the ends of the tape to allow positioning on the boot leaving the long bits of tape cover hanging down, once I was satisfied I then pulled the tape off and pressed it firmly down.
Afterwards I ran a hairdryer along it, recommended on U Tube to help the glue get a good purchase, easier than I thought.
You can get them in Red, Silver or blue logo, as mines magnetic red I went for that, the whole thing delivered was just £11.66.

Steve, looking good. This stuff from AliExpress is really amazing for the price and delivery, even the quality is very good, some of the stuff I have bought was slightly warped but nothing that a Hair Dryer could not put right. The problem is normally related to the cooling of the plastic part especially if it’s long - Dave 😁

Thanks Dave, it finishes the boot off nicely I think.
Very impressed with Ali Express, but every time I look I get tempted with something. LOL.

Sorry dude. Just my opinion, but a Qashqai Qashqai is a bit of a fail. Maybe a bit of de-badging is in order? But would you remove the Dci? Its such a dilemma. I guess you could always just ignore me :)

I like the new red lettering, but then it goes against the black lettering of the Nissan Badge. Again, this is just a personal choice, but I would change one of the badges letter colours so its the same.

Is that the same for the lettering colour? Personally I like both, but I would imagine sticking to one colour.

I could try to paint the Nissan badge red with my touch up stick, would that help you sleep.? :D
Thank heavens I didn’t buy one of these as well.

Steve, it’s your QQ just do what you have to do. The decision is yours, money outlay is yours, you have to live with it, so just do what pleases you. Other People can have their opinions but it should not affect your final decision. We have done what suits us on our QQ - Dave 🙄
Just an interesting comment I had a chat today regarding the New QQ / prices / availability / test drive etc and will start looking deeper. One Tip that came out of the chat was that our Dealer will fit Accessories other than OEM when cheaper and agreeable with the Customer, which is what I done personally with our existing QQ - Quarantee will not be affected 👍
