Thanks, Morgan

I think i have one

If Dave hasn't I am pretty sure that I have a set but go with him first.

GKW-405 ·

Awesome Dave, thanks. I'm in Sydney.

Grumble hi, do you have a set for the whole car? Mine have been accidentally lost when the glass was removed. Looks like we can get fixed sides and tailgate from wrecks we know of, but if a set is available it might save us some time?
Otherwise I will just get the front from Dave...

Thanks for your advice. 👍

I have a pair of side windows with rubbers and trims and a pair door wind up windows for a squareback and a fastback,I had a pair of complete tailgates,doors and front guards but gave them away to one of my customers with a type 3 wagon.

Thanks Grumble, the fixed side glass with rubbers and trims would be awesome. Can I contact you directly offline to organise? My email is mingmire@me.com

if you cann't get a good used set, ISP have the proper aluminum trims as new items, not the mylar plastic crap.

cheers

Thanks Vlad01

Has anyone used/seen the ISP ones? I'm scared of the cost of shipping a large, fragile box out from US unless they are really worth it.

I don't have the front screen trims

I have drivers rear window

2 front side windows

2 sill stainless trims

2 rear guards trims

3 front guard trims

Let me know if that's any good to you

GKW-405 ·

Thanks Dave, I have my hands on everything except a front trim. I'll keep looking. Many thanks for checking your stock.

Old Dubber ·

I have the front trim - you going to Valla?

GKW-405 ·

Not going to Valla, but could we possibly send it.

Old Dubber ·

, but could we possibly send it.
Probably not feasible, much too big and fragile

its very feasible! use the courier company smartsend they shop around for the cheapest price for you. then use masking tape to stick the trim down to a thick piece of cardboard, cover it in some bubble wrap more cardboard and send it on its way 🙂
this is how they come from isp and they make it undamaged from the states like this.

Old Dubber ·

Am still waiting for a reply from Morgan, and it's his call.....

GKW-405 ·

Grahame here is my email mingmire@me.com. Let's chat off the forum and see what we can organise. Thanks.
