Wheel arch extension rubber trim

[Eric]

Im trying to find enough rubber trim for the rear wheel arch extension/flares. Cant remember the exact name but I think you will know what im talking about.

A guy in the US needs some for the rear two and im trying to help him track some down

[peter thomson]

You can still buy the trim from Mitzi though the part number is the same which ever part you require dependant on colour. You just cut it to length. Last time I checked they were £17 each

[elnevio]

What colours do they come in?

I was thinking of replacing the RVR ones, and wonder if they're the same stuff.


And apologies for the , Eric!

[peter thomson]

Whatever colour the car is Nev

[elnevio]

But not white? The RVR ones are opaque, and I think the facelift Type-S VR-4s are too?

True the ones on keiths VR4 are not what I would call white but some of the other colours are matched.

[elnevio]

Do you have a part number for the 'white' one? I think I'll have a look at cross-matching it later.

[peter thomson]

I'll check when I get home tonight. Send me a pm to remind me Nev

Does anyone know of anything else suitable to use for these? I have just spent £1658 on new clips to put everything back together properly & refuse to spend another £113 on yet more small rubbish just because the old ones have shrunk slightly

I bought a set a few weeks back from a german ebay seller. Only a few pounds!
I'll look it up!

Awesome, thank you

Awesome, thank you

@Kryton did you managed to get some rubber trim off this ebay seller from Mark link?

[Kryton]

Yes but not fitted yet. I bought loads extra & my car is going in on Monday for a service etc so will try to get this fitted at the same time. Fairly certain I will have enough left to do another car if you want any? If I have done it in time, I will bring the left over to the 10th meet & you're more than welcome to have it

I send him (ebayer) few messages and he didn't respond. If you will have left some I take them, but I'm fairly desperate for front arches as they are out of my car atm and I would like to get them back on till 10th anniversary (as everything) could you, somehow, send me two lengths for both front arches??, pleeease

[Kryton]

Its got potential, leave it with me & I will see what I can do. I am fairly certain I have enough to do 2x entire cars as I bought 10x metres but will get the mechanic to check tomorrow

[adaxo]

Pm you my details to speed things up if possible, thanks

[Kryton]

@adaxo, there has been a hick-up at this end with getting my car sorted so rather than getting my car in on Monday morning to get started on, its still sitting outside mine. I am however now about to go drop my keys off & hopefully they have left enough of the arch padding outside to do your front arches. All being well, this will be in my possession in about 1 hour & I will get it sent tomorrow for Thursday delivery. Hope that's ok & sorry its a bit later than expected
