skywatcher 1st Gear January 26, 2016 Share January 26, 2016 Where can i get those? Try autobacs. Otherwise, aliexpress; keyword "chrome strip". Make sure you measure width properly. However, they don't sell in small quantity. Chances are you have plenty of leftovers, but good chance you can resell it at marketplace ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lok666 5th Gear January 26, 2016 Share January 26, 2016 Usually i try to park to the lot beside a pillar on my left and as close to it as possible as the driver on your right will park further away from the pillar, so the driver opening the door will not hit u so easily. Then try to avoid lots where high vehicles are parked like SUVs, MPVs, vans, lorry. Try to avoid parking beside cars who go head-in as they need wider angle to exit from their lot. Then I will also try to park at lots where there are little pedestrian movement. Try also not to park infront of corners or downslopes as during wet or rainy days, the carpark is really slippery and you might get hit if the car is turn properly. Reverse all the way into the lot so the cars parking beside you have enough clearance to exit or park into their lots. Try to also park at lots where behind you are walls so ppl will not walk past your cars. Just some tips on parking provided there are alot of lots for you to choose when parking. Anyway, my iphone when connected on bluetooth, I can only answer calls but when my whatsapp or telegram comes, the phone only vibrates. Anyone knows how to fix this? Funny thing is, leaving too much space between you and next car can sometimes backfire. People will just squeeze their baby stroller and yes, even supermarket trolley through. Very risky.

Chances are you have plenty of leftovers, but good chance you can resell it at marketplace Aliexpress probably takes a month but is cheap and comes in diff width. I ever got it for my floor tiles edges but you will need to change their mounting tape, theirs just cmi. Leftover can also be used as door protectors.

Sometimes even head in for ease of unloading the stroller as I don't like getting my stroller brushing against other car as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dash1234 3rd Gear January 27, 2016 Share January 27, 2016 im happy that I'm not the odd one out that. My parking style and thoughts is the same as u. One more thing I do is, no matter how little parking lots available, I will always look for a corner lot. My friends laugh at me. Thankfully my wife and daughter are able to tahan my madness on caring for the car... Haha.. You're not alone. I still find corner or single lot even my ride is reaching 10 yrs soon. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3nj4m1n 1st Gear January 27, 2016 Share January 27, 2016 Aliexpress probably takes a month but is cheap and comes in diff width. I ever got it for my floor tiles edges but you will need to change their mounting tape, theirs just cmi. Leftover can also be used as door protectors. Sorry, can I ask some noob questions. How do you change the mounting tape? Would it come clean if just strip it off? I'm planning to buy some accessories (some chrome trims) and I read that their 3M mounting tapes are not reliable. Worried that it would fall off after weather worn. And where can I find the replacement mounting strips? Does everyone generally stick on the accessories themselves or get a workshop to do?

Some say heat with hair dryer easier to peel off while you can use lighter fluid or petrol to clean off the sticky areas. Don't use the fluid on your car paint however, it will remove your paint as well. Warning - Replacement tape, 3M outdoor mounting tape is more expensive than the chrome strips.
