    Yes! That looked Shite! 😝 Sorry all meant in good humour. Prob very difficult with one hand and very curvy lights! But heh, you do all these things so we don’t have to, and it’s appreciated 😜

    This video brought back memories of when I tried to wrap the rear lights on a 206 a few years ago….So much funnier watching you tho!🏆

      I sprayed tinted the rear lights on my 306 D-turdo back in the day. They were sik aftermarket “Lexus lights” to start with, then when I added the tint they became double sik, with mad street cred gainz.

    Believe it not, its not actually ruined. You can still get the fingers out with a heat gun and a lot of time lol but best to use 2 hands and stretch as u go along the headlight since its so curvy. Very good attempt especially with one hand. Great video 😎

    Shags, I had a mondo and it decided it was going to eat the timing belt when we were going on holiday so that was fun. Started looking for another and ended up with a clitreon c1. Pretty similar to the mondo I know. Was looking for a tt and ended up with a vt. The luxuries are great an odo and speedo. I can put up with the lack of many things but no central locking is doing my nut in. Anyway have you ever tried the eBay central locking kits. Always a good laugh watching your videos m8. Great humour.

      A Citroen C1 is an identical car to the Mondeo, as long as it’s the ST220 V6. I’ve got one of them cheap awful central locking kits in a drawer, along with shit loads of other random eBay shite for when I can be arsed/get the time to fit too, and thanks mate 🙃

    Probably having a squeegee at hand would have helped. Also, utilising both hands for jobs like this would significantly improve the chances of a good outcome. As for the next sponsorship I shall get you a squeegee and a tripod! :D

    Hi m8 when i did mine i put some soapy water like you did & i used a hairdryer & stretched it in all directions using 2 hands but it isn't easy as like you said the Citroën C1 lights are curved in every direction & i have to say you trying one handed i admire your efforts but you definitely need 2 hands bro!

    This is way better than Ride My Pimp ,, or what ever its called on TV ,,
    If you had a really big elastic band ,,,
    you could put it round your head , like a Rambo bandanna ,,, and then tuck your phone in behind it and not only would it work as a first person point of view camera ,,, it could double as a hands free kit too.
    Are you anywhere near that Yabi Dabi Dodo guy that wraps / ruins super cars ,,, maybe if you called past he could pull it for you , while your rubbing it too ,,,, thats bound to sort out the wrinkles .
