fitcy 10 Posted October 6, 2014 Hi, I have a brand new set of corrado roof trims, still in sealed packaging. A couple of years ago i bought these for my Storm, they were the last set in stock. I sold the Storm back then, and kept the strips for my G60. I won't take love nor money for them so please don't ask. But what i'm willing to do is try find a company who will copy them. If anyone can give me information to a reliable and trustworthy company to do it, i will give them a free set of trim when they are made, trust me, i will, I did a group buy a couple of years back, hopefully every member who was involved can vouch for me. If a member knows of a company please pm me rather than broadcast it incase it may not be legal to do, i'll have to look into that aswell. here are photos of the trims Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted October 7, 2014 So nice to see someone interested in helping the forum / community out rather than making some easy money, as these would be a very easy sale no matter the price. It's appreciated! Hopefully we can get something together to get these elusive parts duplicated as they're on a lot of Corrado owners shopping lists!

fla 9 Posted October 7, 2014 its actually quite a tricky piece to get made, i've been looking into this for a while and have spoken to quite a few companies both UK and abroad. Not giving up on it though, so hopefully between our efforts we should be able to get a solution! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR-OOM 0 Posted October 7, 2014 Good man, fingers crossed you find someone who can make these and make a lot of us very happy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Blassberg 0 Posted October 7, 2014 I should think that it would be a lot easier to get the constant-section strip made separately, and that is the bit that deteriorates along the edge so is the part we all need. It could then be cut to length from a long production batch and the double-sided adhesive tape applied. It would then be farly easy for the purchaser to use a suitable adhesive to join the strip to the original back part (and front maybe) at the change of section. That should make the production process much cheaper and more attractive to a potential manufacturer. Best wishes RB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted October 7, 2014 Googled the part number and appears you may be able to buy them from the US, although a website saying they have them and them actually having them are different things. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wesleyvr6 10 Posted October 7, 2014 Which site was that Jim? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karmannski 0 Posted October 7, 2014 fitcy good idea but bit late, as the new batch of them is on the way. So better sale them now as they still good in value.
