In my quest to raise money and start on project 1 on the pina this is bodywork. I can't have a nice shiney sprayed car without new rubber bits and all that crap

Is the prices on ETK accurate? i havn't got a copy but i think i might need it soon :?

Has anyone bought things like new shadow line trim?! Or all the rubber bits round the windows etc i think i might need a trade account with the main dealer soon!

This is going to turn expensive fast i think!

PM ShepsM3, he bought all new for his Sport evo when he had the car re-painted, prices will be the same.

I bought a shadow line gutter trim from BM and it cost £45 inc vat for one side, this was with a small discount should have been around £57 :eek:

I would imagine replacing all of it and all seals will get expensive but worth it in the long run :D

Im sure when I asked about it, the black gutter and door trims came to about £170 all in
Im sure the window scraper mouldings are no more than £10 each though

hmmm so it shouldn't be too bad. I want to make it look new. Then get the mechanicals up to spec, then the interior

Once the tax runs out august i think that will be it off the road for it to start.

cheers

what about the rubbers round all the windows?
