Slim 0 Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 I got a set already colour coded to the colour of my car for £40 off someone advertising a car they were breaking on eBay. Just keep your eyes peeled and something will come up eventually. Link to post Share on other sites
stu h 0 Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 slim -wouldn't yours have been done anyway?? Link to post Share on other sites
Slim 0 Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Yes, but the first owner of the car for some strange reason thought that the earlier bump strips and arches would look better wit hthe ABT splitter and side skirts. I'll be rectifying his poor judgement very soon. Link to post Share on other sites
Ferrari VR6 0 Posted April 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Well i've had no luck at all in finding these strips apart from one breaker who had one of the six sections i need, i've made about 15 calls + 5 emails and nutthin', nobody's got them ~ apart from the main stealer and i could spend £180 so much better else where... One guy even said that he won't take them off anymore as he's tried and they just bend? If anybody comes across them, or you fancy selling me yours please PM me!
