Interior door caps/strips

[foxy600]

Just wondering if anyone has replaced the door caps/strips on the inside of the doors?
The walnut finish on mine has flaked off, any ideas on an easy-ish repair?

You talking about the ally strip about 2 ft long

[foxy600]

Yes, it's certainly metal underneath the walnut, it's the strip just under the window inside the door

pies' site at www.tvrsseries.com has an explanation on how to remove these trims and polish them up. I suppose you could paint them in another colour instead, if you preferred.

I have also polished mine back to shiny aluminium. Looks a treat!

(Just found the reference on my web site at www.tvrgit.com - look under "diary" at 4 september last year - it's all in pictures!)

Total cost was £1.99 for a tin of laquer

The metal strip is ally,just gently sand of the flakey stuff and hay presto

Thanks for the advice, I have the walnut dash, so would prefer to get them re-done in walnut if I can. Just can't think of a way of doing it

Beaten to it by a Haggis

My dash is wanut as well - but these polished strips go well with the ally gear knob and handbrake.

Only cos you looked up the reference for your own site first - and I looked up mine after!
