Vr - vs calais bumper chrome strip

[commodorev6]

Just wondering if anyone has removed the chrome strip from the bumper on their VR/VS Calais. Is it a difficult process? Do you need to remove the bumper bar?
On the side doors, the chrome is attached to the black rubbers so I can't remove the plastic chrome strip? Has anyone successfully managed to replace these?
Apart from panel beaters can anyone recommend a good place/product/brand that makes or sells the chrome strip?
Thanks

go to your local holden spare parts and they should have some of the orignal chrome strips fo the door and front and rear bar but it wont be cheap.
if ya carnt get the orignal ones there is a solid chrome strip on ebay CHROME MOULD VN VQ VP VR VS COMMODORE CALAIS BERLINA (eBay item 180597443487 end time 17-Dec-10 06:50:38 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

you will not need to remone the front bar to replace the chrome strip cause all its holding it on is a black stick strip, all you wll have to do it peel the old one off clean it up and stick the new one on.

any body shop will put the side door ones on if you dont feel up to doing it your self

Original from Holdens will set you back around $110. According to our local dealer they have plenty in stock but each year they go up and up and up in price

supercheap didn't have it when I looked. you can just pull it out, clean off the glue and stick the new stuff in, I've replaced mine with that stuff that patrick posted before, good gear.

same here went to holden, dont make it anymore, i went to a few body shops but no one can get any the right size, only way ill even get some again is from a wreck in good condition, i lost it on my rear bar as i was rear ended, not bad just enough to need a new rear bar, no one can seem to do anything about it.
