Trialed white on my for all of 10 minutes then removed as I didn't like it, very easy to apply though.

If you hadn't been as abrupt with your reply I would have told you that it's the part that the tape sticks onto that's beveled, how do I know this??? Maybe because I did it myself about 2 1/2 years ago!
I'm amazed by your stupidity.
Seriously I joined this forum to get help.
What you did here is making you look dumb and super not funny.
Now, Mr. Obvious, please make an eBay search for "20mm red stripe" and notice the results. Hints: what you get is 20mm red FLAT stripes. Now scroll up and read the previous posts... I'll help you here! It says that I'm looking for BEVELED stripes. Another hint: beveled is not flat.

Can I get help here, please?
All I got so far is bad entertainment.

Thanks.

Dude !, you need to wind your neck in :rolleyes: . You come here looking for help (without even having the courtesy to introduce yourself) and within 3 posts you're slinging insults about and getting all arsey over a 'tongue in cheek' reply ??? . I'm guessing that either English is not your first language or you've got an attitude problem ?

For a start , 20mm stripe would be Waaaayyyyyyy too wide :eyepop:

This is my own car , and i've used a red 6mm (FLAT !) vinyl pinstripe

It fits the moulding feature on the lower front grille perfectly and with a bit of heat was easy to 'bend' around the corners . As has been highlighted by other members the shape comes from the profile of the lower grille itself - a thick bevelled hard plastic body moulding (which is what you may have meant , but didn't ask for) would be a nightmare to try and fit , and would more than likely peel off at the first sign of water.

I followed Rob's (perfectly acceptable) advice and typed red 6mm pinstripe into ebay , and got 47 results - it wasn't particularly difficult....

Sorry mate - I bought nearly 2 years ago and the eBay auction is long gone. There's plenty of red 6mm stripe about - just pick one.
