Wheel arch trim

[spivvy]

does anyone know where to get the rubber edge trim for the inner wheel arch on S3 i am am missing one ?

[Podie]

Which bits exactly..? The pads the bonnet rests on...?

[spivvy]

on the inner wheel arch that deflects spray from the body there is a rubber edging that goes round it

I think you mean the rubber seal that sits on the edge of the rear inner arch, that the front (bonnet attached) inner arch closes down on to.

Many S2s & S3s I've seen only have the seal on the offside. I stuck a common-size seal on the nearside:

Part No. SRS4

or you could use a Snappon type seal:

Part no. 266 (same as the one on the roof hoop section).

I used black 'Funky Foam' -available from a hobbyist type store. Cut to size and stuck down with Copydex!
