Life of OEM vinyl?

Hi. Not been on here for aaaaages.

Our MCS hit it's fifth birthday a week ago, and still has it's dealer fit viper stripes that were put on at delivery. They still look OK, with just a couple of small stains (probably from birds ). Should we be looking at replacing them anyway? What is the life of the OEM vinyl?

If the answer is yes, replace them, anyone know of any good fitters near Reading? I'm not going to fit them myself cos I want them to look good

Stuart

If they are stained, then yes, replace them. Most vinyl will last 5 or so years, so I think that you got max life out of them. I had some stripes that only lasted two, it happens...

I would recommend Phil and www.minipirate.com as a place to get good vinyl fitted. Top notch service and price.
