You fit the end cap underneath the trim, and then bend the pointed bit down , this keeps the plastic insert in.

When we first came to Aus we stayed at Penrith, that was our base then headed to Batemans Bay. I wanted to settle in BB but we opted for the Gold Coast instead.
Let us know how you get on with your trims fellas .

I am a member of a club and they have had a change of leadership and its looking a lot better.
At the last show , the only one I have entered my bus due to the mates having a go at me.
Well 3 of us put our kombis in and stayed with them ALL day and the judges didnt even come near us, So me a cynic, never.

My bus is for me to enjoy, it isnt a show bus.

Anyway, I will be having a go at the trim tomorrow.
Hey whats the worst I can do to brand new 2 pac paint?????
Now it is a 2 mm drill, I will go and buy half a dozen so they stay sharp.

Paul,
Thats what made my day, just seeing normal people enjoying the bus, not the VW so called faithfull , the ones that know what colour the screws should be.or the thickness of the foam in the door panels????

Right I'm off to the garage to drill about 200 holes in my bus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
