andyelcomb Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 To be honest the length isn't a problem it's the width and the fact the rear is wider than the front so i have to "Align" the car precisely. Â Nail some old carpet to the walls - won't matter if you get it a tad offline then. Â ................... you didn't, did you? Might not have saved the repeater, but the paint would have been ok. Â Oops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Are you sure it's completely flat? Â What's odd is the wing repeater sits about 10mm clear of the wing. When i pulled the car out not only did i remove the repeater i also hit the paint..... That's a mighty change from pushing it in the day before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
