I'm interested in a front set + rear arches too.

Send me a PM, a few people are after sets so I'll plan it all and order the material in. Sent from my P027 using Tapatalk

Upper clam goes from the bottom of the lip (directly above the 'V') to half way up the headlights, and across the bonet in a slight downward curve. Will try to get a better photo example

Can anyone please suggest where I can find the fitting guide please? It says there is a second post but I cannot find it.... Thanks, Jon

To fit, I'd recommend putting aside maybe an hour, no more should be necessary. The flast lines of the VX make this a rather easy job.    Step 1 - Clean the paint work. Use a quick detailer and something to rid the paint of  and dirt and grime.   Step 2 mix up some hand soap and water, the more hand soap used the longer it will take to dry, just a few drops will be enough for a small spray bottle   Step 3 - Liberally spray the car section, spray your hands to avoid getting any dry finger prints on the adhesive then peel off the material from it's backing. Spray the sticky side and lay it on the car in position.    Step 4 - When material is in place and you are happy with it's positioning, take a debit card and wrap it in a thin cloth.  Gently apply pressure and start to squeeze the liquide out from centre to the edges. The more liquid removed the firmer grip  the adhesive will have. Keep this up until the material is strongly held in place and all liquid/bubbles are removed.   ** tips** if you find the edges wont stick down, use a hair dryer on them whilst squeezing the water out, the hair dryer will help  secure the adhesive quicker. The heat will also make the material more workable incase you are struggling to bend it over certain curves of the car   Step 5 - Leave the car a few hours, preferably in the warm for the excess liquid to dry up     If anyone has done this before and has any further tips, please speak up ! This was a project in the beginning so I am by no means an expert at this, I just wanted  to provide a cheaper method to protect our paint.

Thanks for posting up the instructions. 

 

A few tips

 

-If you have them, start with the rear wheel arches, these are the flattest pieces that need the least manipulation, it will give you a good idea of where to start with out being difficult. 

 

- Leave the bonet lip till last, experience from the other pieces will help, due to the shape of the nose on the VX, there will be a crease on the lower portion of the nose where there is excess material. This is not a problem, just use a hair dryer and the material will shrink, it can always be stretched if needed, it has a memory to it like vinyl. It's also a lot tougher than vinyl in that it's harder to burn through if you do heat it too much. 

 

- Drown the piece and the panel in a soapy solution (water and baby shampoo works great, some hand soaps and things like fair liquids have degreasers which can break down the adhesive over time). You can't put too much solution on but you can put too little. 

 

If anyone gets stuck when applying, PM me. I'll keep an eye on them and try to reply as quick as possible, if you get super duper stuck send me your number and ill give you a bell so you can ask any questions
