De Chrome

Post Mon Jul 11, 2005 9:44 am

Finally managed to get round to fitting my dechrome kit last night after it sitting in my cupboard for the last 6 months.

The only prob is the bits under the windows need replacing...the black paint someone sprayed on (one can only assume whilst it was raining) is now half chrome/half black.
How do I go about sorting these out? Can I take them off, if so how?

Cheers

I.m doing this on a door swop - Bentley manual says you just lever the strip off upwards, they show using a wooden wedge to avoid damaging the door/strip. HTH

I've done mine now as well.

Word of advice...

Be bloody patient and take your time fitting.

I managed to source a couple of rear windows off a sport instead...saved a lot of hassle.

If you want a couple of rear frames I've got a couple in my garage...but you'll need to find some glass.

Excellent....cheers for the offer...how many spondolies am I looking at for them? Will speak to my mate tonight who does all the work on the car and see what route he wants to go down.
