rear wheel arch clear stickers
Hi All,
I will need to replace my rear wheel arch clear stickers when my 480 goes for its re-spray- the clear ones which I guess are there to protect the paint from stones thrown up by the fronts- any ideas about this, perhaps another manufacturer still makes something similar that can be trimmed to size?

some time ago I had same problem which I've solved with tinting film.timrosser wrote:Hi All,

look for local window tinters I'm sure they'll be able to help. for example LLumar provides films for automotive and architectural applications. just if I remember well clear automotive film was too thin so I've used architectural one used for windows in buildings etc.

Brilliant, thanks for that!
Re: rear wheel arch clear stickers
You can also leave them be. It saves a lot of hassle and they don't serve any practical purpose.
Too old to bother
