As the heading says ,can i use the old fender beading ?
I took of the rear guards today and the original beading is still in good nick ,came off in one piece a bit grubby but will clean up nice.

Yes, As long as its in good nic.....It will also match the rest of the car.....

Good luck.

N!

got any trick to keeping the bead lined up when putting the guard back on?

Yeh, what I do is bolt the guard up with two turns on the bolts then feed it back in then nip the bolts up slow making sure it lines up ok🙂

even putting it in a bucket of hot water "from the tap" will help it.
