Chrome around door

Postby friar241 » Thu Sep 13, 2012 9:22 pm

Hi Guys,

New to this forum and FTO's purchased myself a FTO GPX V6 Mivec in passion red and love it to be honest, the noise and the handling are amazing.

I have one weird thing though, on one side above the door I have a black strip yet on the other side it is chrome. It looks like the black has come off leaving this chrome exposed but I was wondering what I can do to fix this as the black looks a million times better.

Thanks for any help you can give,
Luke

That's exactly what happened, you can get replacements handy enough.

Sebastian painted his, not sure how they came out. I'd be replacing anyway.

Try Gerry here for parts.


Welcome along by the way, Car looks nice and original

Same thing was happening with my gpx. The black was looking a bit rough, so i had it smoothed and painted. Looks great now.
