A guy I used to work for specialised in minis and used to fit this trim by it in a bucket of hot water, really hot and then when it was supple he fitted it against the arch curve so the curve of the trim went into the tight corners if you see what I mean.

He got really good results doing this but everyone tries the other way because its easier to follow the arch curve but then when you get to the tight curve its nigh on impossible without kinking it.

Good thinking…….i reckon a combo of that method after a day in the airing cupboard would maybe work. It is very nasty stuff though…….ive done a few over the years and not encountered stuff like it

The exhaust that Minispares sent was absolute dogshit.  Not only will I be extracting a refund but, in an unusual and uncharacteristic twist, will be wanting an apology

I got an apology for a 944 back box many years ago. It was shit, I was fucking livid and I think I frightened him.

I used to sell rolls of this in 'chrome' BITD, never had a problem. Maybe the material has changed?

As others have suggested - Bucket of hot water was always the MO when I’ve done these…
