When I did the metal strips on mine I used mastic tape to set in place with a bead of sika 512 or tigerseal to finish the edges where the rubber trims had shrunk or degraded. I found the tigerseal easier to work with and less prone to weathering/gaps opening up when the van flexed/expanded/contracted. So if I had to do a job like that again it would be tigerseal all the way. What a horrible job though, the cleaning and prepping is a long and arduous task

Love the smart Will. They're strangely addictive things. I had one in the same colour scheme - but an early LHD example in pulse trim. Compared to which yours is positively decadent with your heated seats and air con... Glass roof+no air con was a delightful* experience in the summer!

Crazy cones!

A few more from my saunter home this evening - it's not the prime chodfest it used to be, but there are still plenty of shonky old heaps lying around the place. Back to sunny* Liverpool tomorrow. Sigh.

Here's a few I took in the Campanario this week to get you started.

Yes please!

I reckon Mrs CW is going to hang us both when your number comes up

Fellow mingebags: If you park at Birmingham international station it's a flat rate £9 a day on Saturdays and Sundays. Still a rip off, but at least it's cheaper than using the NEC official car parks. Plus it will probably be raining, and it's a covered walkway all the way from the station to the halls. The food & drink is normally cheaper at the outlets based at the station than it is in the halls too.
