So I've got a set of BBS's for the Golf I got off the wheel seller on eBay, Uli Nowak.

Does anyone know how to apply them?

There not stickers like I thought and I can't work out how to apply them.

There on thin card so don't think so.

Have a look on the W.I.P thread there's a picture of them there.

Cut a piece of the plain card off and bang it in some water! They're like those old fake tattoos you put on as kids!

I don't see how that'd work cause the decals don't look backwards when you look at them.

No they don't mate! It's the same with mm's

I could be wrong but just thinking if they won't come off then it's an idea? if they are waterside you have to cut them out perfectly and be really gentle as the ink can run! Don't leave it in the water to long

Oh right.

I've never used waterslides before so it's something I need to learn.

They're only mm's Mexico ones tho? Still the sane idea??

so easy to use,cut them out but make sure there is some card left to hold onto
i put them in a bowl of warm water until they start to lift of the paper,
then just slide the decal off onto the wheel,,if it seems sticky just put back into the water for awhile
dab with a cloth & leave to dry

Cheers for the offer Kezza, but I don't want to waste perfectly good decals.

I'll give it a crack when I get in from work tomorrow, cheers for the walk through Rapid.
