hotrain69 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 With help from Sarah (Chillis) and a mate (thanks for your help guys), and once again cutting my fingers, managed to fit the rear strut brace cover in carbon from Paul at Dream Custom! Unforunately, after alot of effort and not want to cover the strut cover with anymore blood, had to give up and settle for a bit of a bodge job. couldn't line up two of the popper clips on the back end of the strut so now there is a gap as in the photos below, as just left the two poppers off. cant really be seen unless over the top of it or at the side. so will settle for that for now. The strut looks great and have to congratulate Paul on a great job. will definitely want to get other bits done! thanks Paul and Sarah for helping getting it on.

Chilli Red Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 You are very welcome, although I am three fingernails short now! Paul made a lovely job of it and it does look really good Very impressed. Oh, and incase anyone was wondering, Tony was the other end of the car fitting a JWT Pop Charger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Looks great matey. Wish I had known you were down at the Chillis, I would have popped down with my trim remover tool. Saves the blood, sweat and tears! It really is pretty easy to take apart the Zed interior once you know how the panels come off and where all the poppers are.

You mean I will still have my nails Will ring you first mext time Chris Search "trim remover" on ebay, theres loads on there, and only cost a few quid like the one below. Helps you get right into where the popper is and puts pressure only on the popper so no chance of breaking the trim Less than a fiver - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAR-AUTO-BODY-TRI ... 7C294%3A50 yeh, it's all about those poppers. just annoying that i couldnt get those last two to line up. not up for having another go any time soon. but maybe next time there's an event at chilli's or if i'm in slough we could have another bash? If you dont want to get one of those tools and are ever in Slough, give me a shout the day before and I'll bring the tool with me. Or if you are coming to Wales remind me and I'll bring it with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
