   was thinking of doing this myself but putting it on the actual lip rather than inside it, looks cool though

    i bought 2 sets but only needed the 1, but for the price is good to have a spare incase it comes off or scratches

    very easy comes pre curved, basically clean the edge of your wheel, start at the top evey few cm press hard, when its straight rub it down with a cloth, took me bout 10-20 mins with ciggy breaks

    Exactly what i was going to do to mine,,bought some 2mm ans it wasnt big enough for the whole lip and i decided not to bother as when you go to chnage your tyre youd gte it removed when tyre is taken off and mine didnt seem that sticky either so i thought i wouldnt bother,,but yours looks good mate. I may do mine in the future or even get it sprayed on.

    Also..I bought mine with an apllicator from bikers world as it was straight tape not curved,,and i was going to get the pre-curved like you did mate,,and the applicator does work but because my black vtr alloys are glossy it didnt really stick:/do i gave up that and decided to spend somemoney on some angels and exhaust
