Hello chaps I was wondering if anyone knew where I might be able to get some new pinstripes for the wedge. TBH it's only the front, from the wheel arch forward that need doing.

Anyone?

Cheers me dears

Hi Jim, had mine from SparesWorld when I did the 450SE.

Looks like they're South Wales based though. Can pop in if you like. Measure the width of them if you can just to make sure, or send me a tracing. thumbup

Here's my old thread...

The factory originals were made by 3M, but I have seen a lot of replacements and different styles when I looked round all the Wedges a couple of BBWF's ago.

I bought a few reels in the States a few years ago but the 3M ones are hard to get over here.

I gave up on the Halfords type becuse they looked rubbish once on the car - cheap and too thin IMO.

The ones I've bought of ebay are the same measurements as the ones on the car. Haven't arrived yet but once they have i'll let you know if they look ok.
