What is the best stuff to use to stick SR bumpstrips to the body?
Don't want to bodge it and it really needs to be top stuff to stick well and not come off whilst driving
Recommendations please

A good quality double sided tape from the likes of 3M if it's for the ones I sent you, they were stuck on with a similar tape, it's thin and slighty spongy stuff.

Stickaflex or tigerseal. Although it depends if you want to get them off again at any point; bodyshop once used stickaflex on my old hatchback to glue the front wing section in place. That stuff set like concrete and was a PITA to get off when I de-stripped it
I tried using some halfords trim tape and it was fine, until the water got into it
Perhaps use some of that, or some masking tape, to hold the trim in place whilst the stickaflex/tigerseal sets.

I've used Tigerseal as well, if you do use it don't change your mind cause it will probably take the paint off
and make sure they are on straight the first time, cos you don't get a second chance,Originally Posted by Edd
I'll check the repair method manual tonight and see what it says to use,

i us3ed tigerseal for abit off mine and when it needed to come off it really didnt want to so this time i used halfords trim tape and touch wood i havent had a prob as off yet!!
Cheers lads,
The 3M stuff or that Halfords trim tape sounds best. Yes Bazil 'tis for the strips you gave me. Time they went on.
I won't try tiger seal as I don't wanna damage the paint should they need removing.
Are the mouldings the early solid type or floppy later ones?
Either way I'd avoid Tigerseal.
They are rather flexy and floppy so I'd go with later type. It is a G reg anyway.
I will stay away from tiger seal.
I checked that manual but no mention of adheasive,
