They all seem to brake, mine was broke when i brought mine but managed to get a new one off G
#9: Re: Sprayed black plastic strip Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Fri Jul 15, 2011 9:09 am ---- How much did you pay for the one off G? Looks like a car has hit this one and they've just taped it back on, I did take it off to see if it was repairable but it's not
#10: Re: Sprayed black plastic strip Author: L5_UKS, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Fri Jul 15, 2011 9:17 am ---- Think it was £65 for the passengers side one. There hard to find being the carbon look ones.
#11: Re: Sprayed black plastic strip Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Fri Jul 15, 2011 9:20 am ---- The carbon bit is only the top bit that pops off, I got offered one for £50 so might take it
#12: Re: Sprayed black plastic strip Author: L5_UKS, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Fri Jul 15, 2011 9:25 am ---- Yeah £50 is a good price to be honest. Dont think you will find a cheaper one, you get people charging stupid prices there's one on ebay now, for just the passenger mirror, they want £125!
#13: Re: Sprayed black plastic strip Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Fri Jul 15, 2011 9:32 am ---- Yeah I know some people ask stupid prices, on another note if you need any work doing teebag is in Coventry so not far for you and his work is great, think he worked as a sprayer for 3-4 years
#14: Re: Sprayed black plastic strip Author: xspongerx, Location: Newquay, CornwallPosted: Fri Jul 15, 2011 9:57 am ---- Looks good man..Wondering whether to do mine crystal green or gloss black...

Yeah will be needing him todo afew things for me inc getting that strip sprayed gloss black, think gloss black will look good on mine because ive got my gloss black wheels, Ive decided to keep them on i was going to go for grey but decided to just stick with black so its going to be a black and blue theme, still undecided on caliper colour though, you doing your calipers red?
#16: Re: Sprayed black plastic strip Author: Resolutionary, Location: South West LondonPosted: Fri Jul 15, 2011 10:43 am ---- I'm doing mine EZR this weekend with any luck, I was told the runners just clip off?

Don't use halfrauds caliper paint, its w**k. I used Hammerite Smooth, ended up being very good!
#20: Re: Sprayed black plastic strip Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Fri Jul 15, 2011 2:48 pm ---- I've already got some red caliper paint from when I did my silver gti and don't worry it's not halfrauds stuff
#21: Re: Sprayed black plastic strip Author: JE_180, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri Jul 15, 2011 2:50 pm ---- good stuff
#22: Re: Sprayed black plastic strip Author: L5_UKS, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Fri Jul 15, 2011 3:29 pm ---- Think mine will be staying red too :), But going to redo them as they have started to come off in some places so needs a freshen up.
#23: Re: Sprayed black plastic strip Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Fri Jul 15, 2011 4:10 pm ---- luke, keep to the blue and black theme. blue calipers works really well. if you want to see then take a look at mine

I think I used the halfrauds stuff and it worked out nicely. still looks bright and bold 2 years on....

At the boot end, there's a clip which seems to be bonded onto the strip and pinned into your car.
I unfortunately broke both of mine and they cant be bought individually, only with a new strip costing loads from Pug.
The black is coming off mine and its strangely silver underneath.
Was thinking how a 206 in different colours would look with these in silver!? Maybe like some sort of Audi RS3 chrome touch effects!?
Being black, I can suffer some colouritis as im thinking of doing the alloys black soon and need something thats off colour.
