Hey bud,

Just thought i'd throw this up, most vinyls are guaranteed by the manufacturer to last for between 5-7 years outdoors, but one thing to take into consideration is that after 2 years, it becomes quite difficult to remove as the adhesive has had so long to bond with the paint.

That said, i have no doubt gloss black will look schmick on your ride.

Good luck finding someone to fit it, if you were in Bris id be more than happy to help out.

I'm somewhat partial to vinyl myself (see my thread in my sig) ;)

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for your information. My V35 is going to be kept indoor for most of the time, plus I don't drive in the rain too.

With the difficulties of taking it off after 2 years, it should be ok as I am mainly worried about damaging the paint. How long would you reckon I should take it off without damaging the paint?

Thanks again, Stephen.

Well most manufacturers say up to 2 years should be fine, beyond that it can get difficult, i obviously can't speak for all of the different brands but the few that i've used/dealt with (avery, calon, mactac, oracal) are all generally about the same (5-7 year outdoor, 2 years for easy removal).

What brand of vinyl did you buy?

Ok, thanks Stephen. I might not even keep the roof overlay for more than 2 years, or put on a new one.

I bought it off my friend yesterday (There's a Fs thread on here). He ordered it from bluebatmobile in the USA. To tell the truth, I can't tell the quality now. But I think bluebatmobile is very popular in USA and alot of people use it, so I do trust the quality should be good. :P

I will post up the result after I put it on.

Hi everyone,

I just bought myself a gloss black roof vinyl overlay from a friend of mine (R3N) in WA. He ordered it from bluebatmobile from USA a few months back, and I bought it off him yesterday for AUD$70. He is a great guy to deal with too (Thanks again mate :) ).

Now, I have to find a person or place to do it for me. If anyone know a person or a place I can go to in WA, please let me know.

Call Kyle Williams on 0437 886 718. He does Vinyls.

Hey mate, you just revived a very old thread! :)

Hope someone can help you lay it on in Melbourne. Did you get for the roof as well? I still have mine & never got a chance to put it on.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
