Rust around Rear Number Plate Light. Advice needed?

Recommended Posts

Finally got round to sorting the rear number plate light holder, but the rust seems to have taken a real bite out of it!

 

Got the usual strip on order from Stealers and noted through 'search' previous post on spraying this to match the C but after advice on how to tackle the rusted section on the body itself?

Do I need to grind it back completely or is there some other way of tackling it as the metal isn't that thick? :scratch:

Looks bad to me mate so be very carefull with a grinder or you'll just rip it all out then have nowhere to screw it to :| did my 8v last year and looks miles better for it too.

 

Drop me a pm if you want cost and who did it :wink:

Cheers Kip,

 

Sorry not been on for a few weeks, aye, info appreciated.

 

Thought I'd try it DIY style.

Don't expect it to last too long but should see me through a few months till funds allow for a proper job.

 

Does your metal strip sit flush? Think mines due to the new foam seal being spongy fresh. :scratch:
