i wanna replace the rubber bits on the roof as they perished beyond belief. Is this possible, can you still buy the bits?

 

Also is a pic of the dent in my C, the only major downside to the exterior :( Paint looks mucky but it was before i washed it.

 

i aslo seem to be suffering badly from faded paintwork :(

there is plenty on the forum regarding the roof trim, where to buy, and different ways to tidy it up, etc.

 

just do a search and you'll find loads of threads about it :)

"ways" = plural

 

"trimming" and "smoothing" = more than one

 

more than one = plural

bah, I'm here now, might as well make others suffer :D

 

I was against trimming it, as I thought the gap would be obvious, but Jay had his trimmed, and I didn't notice until he said

 

(rereading that, I am talking about roof trim, and nothing else :oops:)

plus it makes it look bigger :lol:

 

 

I'm gonna cut the rubber away on mine, I just haven't got round to it yet, one of those things that will take 5 mins and I'll swear about what a numpty I was for not doing it sooner.

 

its just a razor blade job apparently

Thought I had before and after pics but can't seem to find them..

 

I got up one morning with the idea of cutting them off, I put the kettle on went out the garage and did it then had nice cuppa cha. :)

 

Seriously though, cut off the bad bits with a nice sharp stanley. It looks weird for about 30 seconds then looks much better. After that they'll never even draw your attention again.

I would say the purple C was designed on one of the 'customise an imaginary car' sites.

 

As far as a 'how to' goes it's pretty simple...

 

1. Put kettle on

2. Get a very sharp knife

3. Cut off the tatty bits in a nice straight line

4. Drink tea

 

I will get some pics up though...
