Mines like a Tiger Seal blood bath and I only did the one laugh

Lol T, if only that was my handy work, that a pic of the original seal.
It looks horrendous under there now, it's such a messy job, I ended up with a layer of black silicon on my hands and arms, looked like I was wearing a gimp suit laugh

Lol laugh

I had gloves on, as my Tiger Seal had gone hard at the top and couldn't get it out of the tube, so had to split it open to get to the softer middle part.

I started off using one finger to smear it around the light cup, but in the end, just smeared it around with all four fingers laugh

Also had to cut some of my hair off at the end, as my ponytail had somehow managed to dangle in some Tiger Seal grr laugh

Ahahah yea I started with gloves and using the nozzle provided thinking this won't be hard but ended up swimming in the stuff.

I didn't have to cut any hair off though laugh

Did all 4 of mine a few weeks ago and used wickes's own 'no more nails' stuff, can [/u]not[u] recommend it! Was going to use black silicon but left it in the at home ( i always work on the coupe at my folks house, gravel drive and garage) the wickes stuff is water based and takes hours to go off. I spent about 2 hours lying half in the boot with a heat gun trying to dry the stuff out (it was cold and damp then). Inside looks like a bag of s**t but outside looks pretty good.

Looks great jame!

I found the black silicon only took about 15-20 mins to set, I also rigged up 4 elasticated hooks to keep them in place while it set.
