What type of bonnet to body/wing seal?

[cros]

On mine there was just a sealing rubber strip across the bulkhead ending 2 inches down the front wing wings. Other E30s I looked at were the same.

The ETK has plastic strips that run the rest of the way down the wing. I got a set of these off a scrap car.

Did they fall off mine at some stage or were they some sort of remedial cure for rattles?

[cros]

Anyone?

My sport had a rubber seal that runs around the bulkhead and down to the front of the wings, where as my touring as as many others I've seen have the seal end just after the corners from the bulkhead.

[Dom]

I've got the M3 seals on my car, should have a part number in the wad of receipts somewhere

I don't think that is the seal cros is asking about though, theyre the evo sport bonnet seals, readily available too when I ordered mine.

Pritt Stick?

[Davenotouring]

Yeah,

Simon I have the same ones, and they are peeling off.

Superglue!

[Simon13]

Pritt Stick you Mo Fo!

It has to be something which wont attack the paint? Will super glue do this? better ask Demlot on Sat!

[Davenotouring]

Fucking Pritt Stick won't hold it!! May as well use PVA glue!

Make sure you get a responsible adult to help you.

[Dom]

would copydex be a good alternative ;)

[Davenotouring]

Why yes, yes it would.

Whatever it is, it needs to be waterproof and high pressure hose proof.

What is gonna be able to do that? No More Nails?

[Simon13]

this one is tricky glue and paint work don't go really

[Davenotouring]

Gotta be a strong sticky back plastic? Blue Peter Style. Let's discuss this on Saturday.

On a separate note, can anyone tell me why elastic bands should actually be called inelastic bands.

A pint for the person with the correct answer!

[Gwynleym10]

elastic means; Easily resuming original shape after being stretched or expanded; flexible.

If it was inelastic it would either mean that its not made out of elastic or it cannot be stretch or expanded.....

[Davenotouring]

My physics teacher explained something to me at 6th form, which I've blatently got wrong and not even thought about. He was probably talking about something completely different.

I'll try to remember.

[johnono]

elastic vs. plastic dude

[Davenotouring]

I can't remember what I was trying to explain!!

I will have a think and come back to you!!

I was revising last night for my last exam (5th one in two weeks) which was this morning.

Going to get a hair cut, then straight down the pub to get on it.....I can't wait.

Everyone is out tonight COME ON!!!!!!!

[Davenotouring]

What are the bumper seals Giles?

[Splondike]

Thanks Giles - top man

[Geeman]

Bumper seals go in between the top of the bumper and the lower front light panel and front wing... only came on M3 Sports. It seals the whole of the top of the bumper to the front of the body where there is usually a gap.

Not recommended for E30's without the Mtech 2 kit...

[6potWil6pot]

lol weirdos! Pritt Stikk and Superglue indeed for your EVO seals!

yeah i put a rear spoiler on my old golf with no more nails as i didn't want to drill into the roof to mount it. bloody thing fell off the first time it rained and i never saw it again

[6potWil6pot]

Seriously tho, what sorta adhesive do they use to stick spoliers and badges down with? My M-tech I rear spoiler was fixed down pretty hard with some sort of substance, i really had to tear it off lol

But I do have it?

[Geeman]

Yeah, but I was just pointing out that it wouldn't fit without it... just in case anyone else was reading this...

[Davenotouring]

I thought that was the case, but wasn't sure as it was me who asked the question!

I was just having a joke.
