But guys, it's RIM tape - it always sounds like it should be stuck round the edge of a toilet or something...

... so yeah, I'm childish and it makes me giggle.


Could be a good idea though - a guide for aiming in low-light conditions.

definitely chavvish - i've had it for years blue on silver in my case. I'm going for white or black if i replace it.

it reflects well as long as its kept clean and certainly aids visibility, if you're waiting at a T junction, for example. It reflects back at the light source so the angle of reflection is wider than you might think. It also makes you that bit more visible even during the day.
