Title: Chrome trim ?
Post by: omega3000 on 26 June 2014, 16:16:43
Can you still get the chrome trim strips for the p/f body , tried re shaping the back corner one and it didnt work.  Bumper back on the car now minus trim

At risk of sounding rational... because they're readily available and less likely to bend when you look at them ::)

But look worse than a bit of bent chrome when fitted to a PFL or FL

Well I will concede that it isn't present around the windowlines... which really dates an older car :-\

I bought some 12mm stuff on a roll from Halfords to tart the Saab's bumpers up and ,despite being dubious, it really looks mint. I think it was £12 for 3 metres with a load of 3m tape
