Rear screen carbon fibre trim

[harry henderson]

Hi all, I've just removed the trim at the bottom of the rear screen and am just seeing if new ones can be sourced. I've looked at the usual sites but all I can find are the ones for the front screen. What are peoples thoughts on having these bits of trim body coloured? Cheers.

Just for your information, Andy at Powers mentioned in conversation that they have a source for the carbon versions.

Thanks for that, I'll give them a ring. I managed to remove the trim in one piece so could probably use it again, what do you think to having the trim body coloured?

The later cars are all like that, I don't think anyone would even notice tbh

I think it depends on the colour of the car and personal taste. I have a yellow car with black spiders (eventually ) and I think the black is a good contrast.

Plus the black carbon helps disguise the PU adhesive (not a problem if you have a black car I guess)

Thinking about having mine yellow instead of ocean haze, it goes to be painted on the 30th I might just have them re laquered.

Good choice!

Now all you need to decide is which yellow

I asked about the yellow a bit back and it seemed that halycon Midas for metalic and gialofly for a straight colour. Not too sure yet.

You can't beat a bit of pearl on that one day in the British summer when the sun comes out!

Cheers for the link, good to see pics of one that has been colour coded to the car. I think I'm gonna go down the route of having them body coloured. If anyone is interested I removed mine quite easily using builders string line and a pair of gloves, no damage to glass or trim.
