Bumper and door strips ........

[Babybadger]

I am sick of the scabby grey bumper strips and door strips on my nice white 855. I know I can use the old boot polish or whatever it was to clean it up and look shiny and new. ..........but can I get the V70 ones to fit that are shiny and white, and colour coded?

Thanks in advance

Have em painted at a body shop, cheaper than new bits.

Talk to Bison he has just had his painted and they look great.

Steve has had his painted too, I think it only works with certain colours mind you as I have seen a couple of red 850's with colour coded rubbing strips etc that look vile

xIs it the colour or poor paint job you didn't like?

Haven't had them painted yet, but they have worn scabby grey sort of look. I was thinking it would be nice to put some of the v70 ones on, if they fit so it would sort of .....newer. The car itself only has a minor dent on the drivers door that you have to turn your head with the sun on to see. But those sh*&e coloured strips just make it look somewhat pikeyish!

It looks rotten on Yellow as well!!!

The colour just doesn't work for some reason IMO

Gidday from NZ,

I know how you feel about the grey plastic trims...mine were the same, however I found a product down here called Vinyl Reviver made by Motor Mate Products Pty. Ltd, in Australia.

I have found that after every time a wash the car and if I have followed the intructions on the bottle, I have over the last 3 months managed to get all the exterior grey trims back to the original "grey" colour. I haven't tried it on interior trim yet, although according to the product it can be used on interior parts.

It looks really good and I have had some really positive comments on the way the plastic parts look.

I don't know if this product is avaliable in the UK, but if it isn't here is an e-mail address and fax number. The product code is EX020. Give it a go.

Thanks Geezer for the addresses!

I thought you guys drove holdens down there!

If I can get away with putting colour coded strips on from a v70 it might look a bit newer.

BTW on another note if people have beige interior what colour is the dash top ? Mine is grey/ black but all the interior is beige, has this been replaced or is it normal colour?

Cheers
