DMB Gell Overlays
I ordered a set of these for wheel centers, front and rear and steering, once they arrived i cleaned the badges with white spirits then soapy water and dryed well, heated both the overlay and the badge and applied... all looked great then i started to notice peeling after only a few days, i contacted DMB and they were happy enough to re-send another set free of charge, i have received them and i am looking to applying the new ones but would like fitting advice from others... i did read somewhere that someone used a small amount of glue on the edges to ensure they stayed down,,, (glue recomendations?) if not glue, how can i ensure they stay on this time as i dont want a repeat of last time as im really happy with the look of them but there not applying as well as i would like, cheers

3m 9088 double sided tape is ideal, i got some off amazon to put along the top edge of my wind deflectors as heko only put a tiny bit on the front & back edge, it's only 250 microns thick so doesn't cause a gap, cost £7 for a 50m roll but it's handy for loads of things

Re: DMB Gell Overlays
i eventually got round to fitting them again and used seper glue which worked really well on the front, rear and stearing wheel but i still have slight peeling on the wheel centers, also was at a car show today and looked at various other fiestas with DMB wheel centers and they also have the same issue... still they all look 100% better than they did the 1st time

clear nail varnish is good at sticking things down without showing or turning yellow
