Trying to find a source for the rubber trim which fits around the front bumper, and hides the join between it and the bodyshell.

I'm sure there was a link to a supplier, either on the parts list here, or on the wedge pages at one time, but I don't seem to be able to find it now!

Any tips and suggestions welcome!

Bob.

Woolies (no, not our own John biggrin), Vintage Sipplies or Edgeware Motors are all places I've dealt with for rubber trim and seals.

Hi Bob...Its your luck day...Initially i was going to buy it from David Gerald as he has some old stock..However its not that cheap..However i have managed to find a different supplier of new rubber that is almost identical and is around 90p a metre cheaper..I will be ordering enough for three cars but can order more if people need it...Im not doing it to make any money just to be clear.
They also sell a two part weatherproof adhesive for it but I'm not sure of cost yet..Let me know if you want me to order some for you..And anyone else..Its best if you email me and i will disclose the cost per metre...Cheers...Ziga

I would agree if it was a specially made part but its a bit of rubber seal mate..Fine if you want to pay top dollar for old stock!...

Hi Mate..I have had a measure and its 2.2m for the front bumper and 2.8m for the rear...This is allowing some overhang.

Hi Peeps...Just to confirm the seal will be here tomorrow..So i will chop it into the relevant parts and post out...

"Its okay Eric..Im talking rubber seal...For a car"...

I said.."Rubber"..Not "Bubba"....

They always get a bit worried so you have to put them at ease..I daren't mention I'm going clubbing later..That totally freaks them out....Ziga
