    Default Replacing Chrome Strip On Calais Side Moulds

    Has anyone done it?

    I've been eyeing off the gear they sell at Supercheap and others in 5metre rolls and this will work a treat for the bumpers, but the side mouldings are one piece with the strip a part of the mould.

    Has anyone refurbed theirs and how did you go about it? It'll look **** if I just stick it over the top of the existing strip but I'm unsure how to go about cutting a recess in with the mould still on the car.

    Is there another, better option that the chrome look rubber roll sold in the auto parts stores? I was unable to find any chrome look pin striping tape.

    Advice appreciated.

    Cheers mate.

    I'm not too sure on painting it if I could get away with some replacement tape or similar though. I'll definately keep that thread in mind though.
