Ive been doing bits on the TVR, interior and exterior wise, neatening it up etc, will post my progress soon enough, as ive logged before & afters of everything ive done so far! Right to the matter at hand these god damn rubber trims at the front of my car are really annoying me it looks like there missing rubber stop ends? i looked on 'woolies trim' couldn't find nothing.. Has anyone came up with a fix for this?
also the thin chrome trim looked pretty neat to go above the black rubber bumper strips, was wondering if anyone had put these on there car?



(sorry if this has already been covered in a previous topic)





thanks in advance

It's due to the change of indicator lenses. The originals have generous overlap around the lense edges and so they tuck the rubber trims in behind them like below.



However if you find yours are cracked or want to replace them the cheaper options involve BMW E30 non-M3 lenses which look like yours (I did the same) but these are smaller lenses so the trim becomes exposed.



Without an end cap solution I guess your next options are to try and shape the rubber back in with heat perhaps or use an adhesive of some sort?
