jim Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I think they both look good. Did you finish off with a clear lacquer top coat? On both items? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 I think they both look good. Did you finish off with a clear lacquer top coat? On both items? clear coat on the strut brace cover , but left the air intakes with just standard finish as it was a better match to the rest of the alloy coloured plastics on the car (door handles etc. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomoto Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 how easy it it to take off and spray? Mine has scratches on it, can you talk us through the process? The intake trims just pull straight out with a good yank!!, the strut bar cover is dead easy as well no tools required simply pull off the trim surrounding it ,then yank off the cover 10 second job.A bit daunting if you've never done car trims before ,but just be brave and they pull off trickiest part is lining the trims surround the strut bar cover up before you push them into place, when replacing them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
