stainless trim
with the two tone paint I find that my stainless trim strip is visualy lost.could I replace these strips with the early wide ones?I know the clip
holes will have to be drilled bigger.has anybody done this?the front-side strip seems longer on mine(Sbug)but the rear,in the wide,might be the right
size to do the front as well. any help?
ROB

I would paint the thin stock trim in a dark colour 2 pak paint this would enhance the 2 tone paint section.
Dont know if the earlier wide trim would fit the later car.... Paint would look better...

Rob get some old trim and spray it with enamel black to get an idea of what it would look like..
I think the wide early model trim would be a lot of stuffaround...
As you say it just needs an outline to high light it
