what adhesive did you use?

The recommended 3M 80 spray adhesive is impossible to find at a good price.

Are there any other options?

I replaced the bonnet liner 3 years ago and used 3m Spray adhesive 80 and it hasn't come away or caused any issues at all. I know its expensive but then it does have to perform currently in an environment that red hot one minute and below freezing the next. I think its quite impressive stuff and probably not something to cut corners on.

This is the cheapest I've found so far https://vikingtapes.co.uk//p-750-3m-sco ... NN2a0Kol0g (£15.76+VAT)

Alternatively this may do the job as its heat resistant, flexible and bonds to most surfaces and is on special offer at the moment. http://shop.vitcas.com/heat-resistant-s ... s-15-p.asp (£4.99+VAT)

Is it worth the risk to save circa £10 though?

I sell the the 1/2 inch version on my site for $89.00. The Lotuselancentral discount password gets you a 15% discount on my web site.
FWIW eBay will always be higher since I pay eBay fees of about 15% of the selling price.
The one from LBCC is probably the best buy for basic function and looks.


I think it's time to get one of these as mine is now very tatty. Does anyone know if the discount still holds and what the pass word is, please?

I believe the password is simply Lotuselancentral, as indicated in bold in the quoted message.
