Just saved myself £15
« on: 11 October 2011, 14:08 »
My old grommet that i had in the rear window had perished. So i thought while on my lunch break id have a go at fitting a bit of plastic/perspex.
and heres the results! very pleased with it! amazing what you can do with a bit of plastic and black mastic!
all being free cause i work for a mastic/silcone company! :D


Turbo power!
