raypeter · 09-23-2008, 10:35 PM

hi guys,
i've noticedon some cars that have been on the track that u have used a blue tape on the front of the car to stop chips etc.
just wondering what it is, who makes it, and where to get it from
thanks

lol its plain painters tape. nothing special. if you frequently track your car i would suggest a clear bra

ive got my first track day in the m coupe coming up, so cant be bothered with a bra, but the tape seems quick and easy, and my mate who will film, will ever only see the back of me

it's not for paint protection

it's to seal up the panel gaps to reduce drag
