Used them extensively myself in the past, so they're ideal for the purpose.
Hadn't realised the initial enquiry focussed on a completed car. Important to
remember of course that the original fixing method was used on the premise the
car wouldn't last very long so why spend more money for a Rolls Royce type of
solution? But then that was the story all over. Use the cheapest paint
available, the steel from Italy was cheaper though it wasn't as good and
you bolted it all together with a good dollop of communist labour to ensure it
all fell apart just after warranty expiry - or even before, if you were really
lucky. Hey, how come so many have they lasted this long? :)
