00:00So, we announced a few days ago that we wanted to test the Easy LP.
00:06We've now received it, exactly 3 times.
00:12Once for the front, for the front apron, and then we received it twice for the side skirts.
00:21Let's try it out now.
00:24We actually wanted to do it in our workshop as usual.
00:28However, this is putting a huge damper on our plans.
00:36We won't be able to get an appointment in the foreseeable future where we can be there
00:39alone and install it.
00:44We're not part of the workshop's staff, so it's really difficult.
00:48So, we've decided to do it alone this time.
00:54I'll get it somewhere, and secondly, it has to be done at home in the garage.
00:59That's okay too.
01:01It does have a heater, because we need, let's say, somewhat bearable temperatures, so that
01:06the lip is covered with double-sided adhesive tape.
01:10Of course, you shouldn't necessarily attach it at minus 5 degrees, but it should be around
01:15room temperature.
01:16Um, we can manage that in our garage or in my garage.
01:19Um, I think it should be around 15 to 17 degrees.
01:25I'll also use a heat gun to press it on a bit more, and yes, we'll see.
01:31But it should work.
01:32In any case, not from the workshop this time, but from the garage at home.
01:37And yes, now we're going out to the car and then I'll show you the attachment to the front
01:41apron as well as to one side of the side skirts.
01:45Um, yes, we have to look at the side skirts, they are structured on this car, as is the
01:51case with many cars.
01:54That's not ideal.
01:56The surface should actually be smooth.
01:58With a classic plastic side skirt, that's also the case.
02:01Our car, a VW Fettin, is not.
02:06It doesn't have a plastic sill panel, but rather a coated metal with a textured stone
02:10guard on it.
02:13These aren't the ideal conditions.
02:15We'll just try it out.
02:19Here too, I'll definitely use the hot air gun to press it in perfectly and then we'll
02:23see whether it holds or whether it just doesn't work on the car.
02:28So, this is our test object, the Fettin.
02:35Now we have this.
02:36I've read it through.
02:37By the way, the assembly instructions are also included with the report.
02:41It's best to always have them with you in the vehicle.
02:44Just to be on the safe side, in case any questions arise during inspections or whatever.
02:48Yes, exactly.
02:50So, of course, an important requirement is that everything down here should be clean
02:54and dry.
02:55The bumper is a bit wet because it's a complete disaster outside again today, but that doesn't
02:59matter.
03:00Everything down here is dry.
03:01Um, it's been in here for 2 hours now.
03:03Um, yeah, there's no water dripping, nothing left on it.
03:07The bumper is also at room temperature now.
03:16And now I'll open the package, I'll take the first lip.
03:18And then according to the instructions, I need to use a hairdryer, if possible, either
03:22a hot air dryer or just a regular hairdryer, that'll probably be enough, to warm up the
03:27adhesive a little bit.
03:32Don't heat it, just warm it up.
03:34Um, I'm doing that with this gun, you can set it from 60 degrees to, well over 600.
03:41Um, I'm just going to set it to a simple setting, 60 to 80 degrees, a little distance, and I'm
03:46going to use that to make the adhesive a little more pliable and then we'll see how the part
03:50fits there.
03:54The front apron is definitely suitable, but there are definitely vehicles where it doesn't
03:57fit so well, if they have such a pointed overhang.
04:00So, let's take the VW Tour for example.
04:03In my opinion, the lip doesn't really fit.
04:07Let's try it out here.
04:08I think it looks pretty good here.
04:10It should be slightly visible in this area, and yes, it's just a little bit of a filigree.
04:15It's not a front spoiler or anything, it's just a small, uh, spoiler lip.
04:20What I forgot to mention is that you should clean it beforehand with a suitable cleaner.
04:24So, I'm using Spiritus for this.
04:27It won't harm the paint, especially not in the area down there, where no one looks anyway.
04:31Just wipe it off briefly with it.
04:34Simply to remove all grease from the bumper, so that the adhesive can adhere properly there.
04:39So, that would be really important.
04:42Please don't forget.
04:43So, since I don't have an assistant today, I had to do it a little, uh, well, I can just
04:47stick it on and then film it afterwards, because I can't do it with both hands.
04:51So I've currently set the hair dryer to 130 degrees.
04:56I'm holding it relatively far away and just going along this edge where this adhesive is,
05:01for just 3 or 4 seconds.
05:05That's actually quite enough.
05:09And then I'm going along this white edge here below.
05:16That the underbody behind it should still be accessible if you want to remove it, and
05:20that the skirt, the spoiler lip, goes exactly along this black edge and is always glued in
05:24front of it.
05:28I don't know if you can see it now.
05:29I'll just turn on the flash for a moment.
05:33Okay, right?
05:35So, it's relatively flush.
05:39Here on the side, it's deliberately led outwards a bit due to the shape of the skirt.
05:43I'll show you that later.
05:45And yes, now I'm going to attach it completely.
05:48As I said, thanks to Corona, we're working in the garage today.
05:53This is all pretty semi-professional, but yes, I think it will work for this component
05:57without a big lift and mechanics.
06:01We'll see.
06:02Okay, so far it's all around.
06:10Photos aren't exactly a hit today, but, um, as you can see, there's a bit of dust on
06:14it.
06:15I'll clean it all up now.
06:17Um, it should protrude a bit at both corners when attaching it.
06:22That's also the case here in this area.
06:28I deliberately left it protruding because, um, you can now cut it to size with a knife
06:32so that it looks neat, so that it goes straight down with the shape of the skirt and forms
06:36a neat finish, and on the other side there's a good 30 centimeters left anyway.
06:42Um, yeah, just remember to leave a bit protruding on the side where you start, so that you have
06:51some space to cut it to size, because once it's glued, um, it's hard to get rid of it
06:55again, and if it is, the glue won't have the right adhesive power at all.
07:01Well, Sager Tuning knows about that too.
07:07Everything is described again in these assembly instructions.
07:10Definitely read through them first.
07:11I'm also someone who doesn't like to read through them and just get started, but you
07:16have the time and yes, there are a few things in there that you should think of that you
07:19might not think of right away.
07:21So, now let's move on to the sides.
07:25Of course, the work steps for the side sills are completely identical.
07:28Here too, be sure to clean, clean, clean, degrease as much as possible.
07:35And as I said, the base of this structure on the car is definitely not the best.
07:40Um, I've already attached a small piece, it fits perfectly and sticks quite well.
07:46I'll then go along the entire length here again with the hot glue gun, all the way behind
07:51the sill, and press it down firmly.
07:55Then we'll see whether the base was still sufficient or whether we simply have to say,
07:59okay, it won't hold on the sides, it'll come off again.
08:03Um, you'll be told in the shop that the surface should be clear, and yes, it's basically at
08:08your own risk to try it out.
08:12And I'm promising improvement.
08:14The next car will be cleaned regularly again.
08:18It didn't happen here, but everything down here is clean.
08:20The side skirts are done.
08:27It doesn't look bad at all.
08:29Well, it's nice and straight, at least that's the visual impression.
08:34Um, what do you mean by visual impression?
08:36Nonsense.
08:37Um, it feels just as firm.
08:38The adhesive worked just as well.
08:40What's more advisable is to use a sharp knife for cutting.
08:43It says so in the operating instructions.
08:45I've found that the knife on the windshield tears easily, so it's better to use scissors.
08:49Sharp scissors work 10 times better.
08:52It's basically just a piece of rubber, you can cut it with them.
08:55And yes, now I'll do the same on the other side, then I'll leave the car.
08:59It says so, possible for 24 hours.
09:03And as soon as the weather is a bit better, I'll show you what it looks like outside.
09:08Exactly.
09:09You hardly know anything about it.
09:10Everything is done all around.
09:11I also drove the car through the car wash straight away.
09:15First of all, it looked like crap anyway and secondly, I was able to test whether the easy
09:19lip would hold.
09:21It does.
09:23It's been on for almost two days now.
09:25That's how long I waited to drive through the car wash for the first time.
09:29The instructions say at least 24 hours.
09:32So yes, it fits.
09:36The car is still a bit wet, but you should actually be able to see it.
09:39It fits nicely.
09:42It doesn't stick out anywhere.
09:52And the same goes for the sill area.
09:56So, as I said, the important thing is simply the hot air gun.
10:01It works really well.
10:04You can tell if you tap the glue with your finger.
10:07Um, it's really nice and soft and it adapts well.
10:16As I said, it wasn't ideal in the sill area because of the stone chip protection that's
10:20applied at the factory, but yes, it was actually the endurance test.
10:24Um, I even cleaned the car with a high pressure cleaner beforehand and then drove it through
10:28the car wash.
10:31So yes, the parts have already experienced everything that you would call the maximum
10:34and the only major endurance test would probably be the winter.
10:39We'll see.
10:41But these two things work well so far and yes, it looks very subtle.
10:46I like it quite a bit.
10:50It doesn't intrude on the picture, but is simply a subtle emphasis and I think that's
10:54how it was intended.
10:56Okay, that was basically our tutorial on the EZP that we received from Seeger Tuning.
11:04Cool thing, can actually be recommended across the board.
11:09And yes, many thanks again from Mr. Seeger Tuning for this.
11:16We'll see.
11:26Jaseen, Roh, Go, Go, Go..
11:33Geh, geh, geh.
12:03Geh, geh, geh.
12:33Geh, geh, geh.
13:03Geh, geh.
