Today is a public holiday and I thought I'd waste my time on another pointless project.
Todays fun was to get a Thule fairing kit ( XT 871), some Thule pro ride 591 and a set of rails and install them on to the XC.
OK lets start the fun:
1. Starting with the fresh fairing plastic piece. Cover the face with Hexis carbon wrap.
2. Cut the carbon wrapping and trim to a flash edge all round - including the drill holes.
3. With a scalpel (mine went missing) or knife, carefully cut away at the white vinyl which has the graphics etched into.
4. Cover the vinyl with application tape and ensure all the vinyl is ready for transfer to the Thule fairing.
5. With the vinyl graphics now on the fairing, finish building the kit and prepare for installation to the car.
6. Testing the fitment. Not bad (could have been wider)
7. Assemble the Thule fairing to the front cross bar and fix into place
8. Assemble the Thule Pro ride bike racks.
9. Looks good in the sun.
