Think Blue has started a trend here!!

Looks good doesn't it. Well i've still got mine attached and it feels pretty solid so fingers crossed.

Looks smashing Trem.

If you've done it right, should last a year or so before it noticably begins to crack and fade. Not bad for £9 though, eh.
Go buy some spare packs.. Halfrauds seem to be discontinuing the stock. at least, mine has up here in da north.

This stuff will hold its own against the toughest of car washes too. But I'd imagine you're 7 is strictly on hand wash or spray wash only terms

Al in all, should last a good wee while.

Well if you cant get anymore from Halfrauds, I got 10 metres of 7mm beading for £20 inc delivery from ebay.

Tremmy, do Peugeot do their own 407 grille with chromy bits on, like you've done?

LINK ME man, LINK ME!

Nervermind... found it.

Out of respect for his efforts, I'm gonna wait in the local independant shoppie to get some. He could do with the business anyhow.

He does other widths as well if you want different ones, but I thought this worked well.

No probs

Oh and the bling goes on.......

First I eventually got 'round to fitting my new plates...

Got rid of all screws front and back and stuck them on instead, much cleaner

.

Then I copied the lower grille thing - I'd like to say I copied Trem or Benner but Bluey's got to take the credit, his was the first one I saw with it done.

Edit: not the original photos, can't find them! So this one will have to do.....

By the way, those of you who have estates, if the rear plate was fitted by some monkey with some self tappers, take the plate off and check that it ain't going rusty under there. My 5 year old example was bubbling quite nicely

. Had to use rust treatment and lots of touch up before I could stick the new plate on
