    Im not sure about Autobarn, but my local Autopro used to just have a roll of the chrome strip and you cut it into whatever length you need. Yes it should be the same for a Berlina.

    i do like on the berlina having the chrome window surrounds and the line around the car makes it look mint. and chrome. gives it like a nice edge. especially if you chrome polish the ones around the windows. haha

    Yeah I totally agree, when the chrome parts are in good condition they look awesome, but when the chrome has deteriorated they begin to make the car look trashy. I just wish my paint was in better condition to match the chrome LOL.

    Am I right in thinking you can repace the coloured insert in the trim with a crome one without to much trouble?

    If so does does anyone have any tips in doing it.

    Thanks

    The stuff that I have seen is just the chrome strip. It was just a large roll of chrome strip. I couldn't for the life of me work out how you fit it to the trim like mine (Not Berlina or Calais but its chrome), but I know of someone who has. I have been trying to catch up with him to ask him how because I need to redo mine, but I haven't seen him for about 6 months.
