alloy trim for tops door on vixen

[brittanytvr]

Hi,
on my vixen the long alloy trim parts riveted on the body are missing, if you know where I can found new ones or good second hand, thanks in advance.

Chris,

I may be wrong, but I'm sure I recall someone saying they are off Hillman/Routes Group cars.

thanks daza I try to search in this direction,
just because my english is not as good as I want a little picture to show the missing part

[daza]

Sorry,

I thought you meant inside the doors....

The door gutters on some cars are TVR special, but I have seen some cars with a standard gutter strip bent to shape and stuck on...

Nice car,, I hope to be at that stage during the summer.

Your English is better than my French,, but then I'm not English! lol

Hi,

I'm sure that any metalwork fabrication shop should be able to make these for you. They are not complicated. Mine are in the kitchen at the moment, so if you require any dimensions let me know.

Some cars have just what looks like an aftermarket L shape aluminium gutter strip,,,,

Other cars have a thin strip of plate with a bent lip on the end which is chrome'd.

Hello,
CANTUS YHM,
on my vixen S3, they were aluminium and on the S4, the vertical gutters I have with the car is also alloy, never seen chromed one !!interesting
the vixen is in primer on the picture, some work on the bonnet at the moment and the car could be painted in a week or 2 !!
