renovating coach lines

Post Fri Jul 20, 2007 5:38 am

The blue car has the original (stick-on) silver double coach lines running front to rear along the length of the car. These are now starting to break up and bits have come off, so these are starting to look a bit naff.

What suggestions does anyone have please about rectifying this.

Thanks in advance for any helpful comments

Are they not available from a dealer, Nigel ?

I will have to pop in and see your collection next time I visit my parents ... they're a few miles south of Taunton.

Thanks, GDBN. Will try the dealers. So obvious really.

Yes, if you are in the area will look forward to seeing you.

Just trying to get the blue tourer back to its original condition. Overall it is actually in very good condition it is all the detail stuff which is time consuming.

I see you have a cab. That's the other one I would like to own, but not with leather seats.

Best Regards

Do you have a local graphics company? Take your car there and they should be able to knock you out a set in no time.

You only have 2 stripes so should be cheaper. I have 5 plus some exta bits , they cost Ã‚£70 + Ã‚£40 to fit.

i'd be interesed how muc they are from the stealers though

Your local motor factors should sell rolls of different width and colour pinstripes. I replaced them on my last E30 and it really freshened it up.
