rick323 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 butt matt black looks better than shadow-line. on a silver car anyway. if my car was black i would have the shiney black ones. wonder what they would look like in titan silver all colour coded?

DJ Syxx Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 the black trim sets are all over £150 for used stuff, cant find them cheaper anywhere Tried Quarry Motors? Should be no more than £110-120 tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick323 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 just fitted my black trims this morning, well chuffed. went for the shadow line ones in the end as i picked a set up for £100 delivered, they were in pretty good condition too more than happy with the result! this guide was a great help!!! although in patches, the black trims have wierd stains, like when you breath on glass? except it doesnt come off, what has everyone else used to clean theres?

Nimraynn Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Nice write up, this is to be one of the first things I do when I get my coupe as I absolutely hate the chrome and it's quite tarnished anyway... One question I have though is, can the car be driven without these trims on? Is there enough seal to stop water/dirt getting inside the car, or should the car not really be driven with these off? I was thinking of getting the existing chrome trims carbon dipped and the place I'm taking it to say they could take up to a week to complete. Thanks.

DJ Syxx Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I wouldn't drive the car with those trims off specially in this weather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimraynn Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Fair play, I take it they hold the seals in place? I'll see if I can get a second hand set to get dipped then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick323 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 yeah exactly the same, but obviously different shape due to it having 4 doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashpotter1991 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Just I had a very quick look and cannot see any screws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick323 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 IIRC you have to pull the rubber seals out the way to get to the screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRyan Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Does anyone happen to know if the painted strip can be seperated from the rubber part on the piece of trim that runs along the rear window? Reason being ive just got the set I purchased on ebay and on the new set that one piece of rubber is fairly destroyed - but on my existing chrome bits the rubbers in good condition! If not - any ideas on how to rectify it? Half of it has fallen off (the rubber) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
