Can anyone confirm the size of the pin stripe on vauxhall bumpers, im fairly sure the sizes are the same for mk1 and 2, and i think its 12mm is it not?


Just im looking to order some in white for mine but obviously dont want to get the wrong size lol

I'm pretty sure its 9.5mm spud. But I used 10mm on A6VXL and it was absolutely fine.

I got my Yellow for the SR cut at a local vinyl shop 9.5mm, got @ 25 strips @ 2m long (enough for a bumper in one) for less than £20, sold spare strips;)

I dont think the 0.5mm will make much of a difference.
