honestly this stuff is brill...... when we try to remove a panel off an ally frame
we have to chisel them off.. we use a cleaner, primer ,activator then the adhesive.
I don't mind bringing it home..

That would be great Carl thanks .

Sikaflex-552:

With Sikaflex-552, a new construction adhesive is available which offers, due to its excellent adhesion characteristics, big advantages in the application. This adhesive allows the bonding of materials like aluminum and GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) without any pre-treatment. Furthermore it shows an exceptional high mechanical strength, something very untypical for this kind of adhesive.

First off today I got my new fabric to cover the back seats, and its exactly what I have been looking for :



I cut it to shape, and all I need to now is glue it down and trim it.

Then I finished off my internal boot latch:



Its not the best , but it will do the job , and here is it connected to the other latch:





Just need to get it fixed to the inside of the boot and all set up, and it will be done .

And last, I laquared the boot:





I had to flat the top coat off a little bit, but no it is looking good , and can't wait to get it on the mini .

Looing good, which bit are you fixing to the inside of the boot? I'm guessing the smaller bit?
Boot looks nice, whens it going to be fitted?
