Where do you start HQ front guard stripes , on the nose cone or inline with the edge of the guard, many conflicting pictures out there

Check with Stickthis. He should be able to help you out.

I don't have an exact answer, but it is definitely not on the front apron (nose cone). It does not go across the 'gap'

[Innuendo]

You will see them fitted both ways either from the nose cone or from the edge of the guard.
They were "dealer" fitted. Holden never fitted them. They were supplied to the dealer within the car to be fitted (or not).

Reading the original fitting instruction sheet might give a definitive answer or it may not.
There are plenty around with either fitment, probably close to a 50/50 split from my library of original HQ Sandman's.

Flick us an inbox mate. Let me know where you got the kit. If its from us you should have instructions with it that tells you all this.

To apply the guard section wouldn't you start at the rear of the guard (door gap) to match door, a small amount tucks into gap, then how far forward would be determined by the length of the sticker?

More or less yes. The length of the sticker will dictate how far forward it finishes, though from what I’ve seen they do finish somewhere between 10mm to an inch or so behind the front edge of the guard.

Does the sticker actually come in 3 sections ?

I seem to remember a guy applying one years ago & the whole side was in just 2 pieces & the door gap was cut after the sticker was applied.

Are you thinking of HX -HZ stripes?

[Dr Terry]

Are you thinking of HX -HZ stripes?

No, AFAIK the HX/HZ stripes were originally fitted at the factory.

The HQ/HJ ones were fitted at the dealer & I'm sure the ones I saw fitted came as 2 pieces (basically 2 "lumps"). Once they were fitted the gap at the front edge of the door was cut through.

Maybe this changed over time.
