G-Lader 0 Posted March 7, 2005 Cars booked in the Paintshop friday and monday at long last.....anyway getting a small dent on the door sorted (beam behind so paintless dent removal did not work) and a number plate surround colour coded - new one ordered from GPC today as I understandf they always break when taken off ! I was also thinking about getting the side bump strips painted black to match the car and therofore getting rid of any grey plastics all round.....anyone got pictures of the colour coded side bump strips on a Corrado? Lots of people just take them off but I kinda like the look of them..... Cheers :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theRuler 0 Posted March 7, 2005 dont know whether those bump strips would hold paint for too long. i'd be inclined to remove them! hey mine are black anyway! what colour are yours? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G-Lader 0 Posted March 7, 2005 more grey than black, certainly not the same colour as the car.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 7, 2005 The bump strips hold paint just fine, mine have been painted for 2 years and still fine.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GIXXERUK 0 Posted March 7, 2005 G-Lader, how much was your number plate surround ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G-Lader 0 Posted March 7, 2005 £44 incl postage from GPC......I was going to order a 50mm front splitter as well but did not when I found out they were £60... compared to £30 for the larger one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G-Lader 0 Posted March 8, 2005 I'll have to give them a ring then....was going to get the smaller front splitter so I could lower the car a little more, need to make sure the sump never comes into contact with those dodgy square road humps though....

ardandy 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Toying with the idea of getting my strips done too. Hate having to avoid them when waxing etc and back to blacking (or peanut buttering) every few weeks. Cars getting resprayed anyway so thought, why not! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
