Hollings Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Anyone know where i can buy the trim between the window and the door for less than £68 per side, as mine are starting to show the metal strip and looks a bit dated. Z Centre http://www.zcentre.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.tpl&product_id=138&category_id=57&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=7 Many Thanks, Holings. Quote
leo-r32gts Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 A few people have told me that rubbing peanut butter into them rejuvenates them. You may well think that this is a piss take, but I've heard it from a couple of people who are really into detailling their cars. If on the other hand, they are starting to lift and tear, then replacements are probably the best option. 68 quid does seem a little steep... Quote
Hollings Posted May 21, 2011 Author Posted May 21, 2011 Yeah, i was going to try that but when i come to do it the rubber was falling of the trim and showing the metal. and been trying to hunt some down avoiding nissan, but i could only find these and £68 for one is a bit too much. Quote
Sussex stu Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 HAve at look at this thread i did, no reason why it couldnt be done on the door trims. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=122081&highlight=trim+plastidip Quote
Hollings Posted May 21, 2011 Author Posted May 21, 2011 thats brilliant cheers stu, ive been looking for somthing like this! Time to get rubbery! Quote
Stephen Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 think mjp charges less as i looked into this a while back, ended up gettinga set of godens off another member Quote
Bartflaster Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 HAve at look at this thread i did, no reason why it couldnt be done on the door trims. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=122081&highlight=trim+plastidip Yep I plan to do that for mine too, deffo the most cost effective way to rejuvinate the door trims :) .... all I have to do is take a brave pill to see if i dare take the slickie's roof trim off to do the same there ! A few people have told me that rubbing peanut butter into them rejuvenates them. You may well think that this is a piss take .. Yep it works a treat for black plastics and rubber, just be sure its the smooth type though !!! Quote
Guest Chris Bower Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 ive used the plastidip, it does work just make sure its squeaky clean before applying Quote
Steams Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Just like to say, it's peanut OIL not butter.....that would just make a nasty mess :lol: Quote
leo-r32gts Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Just like to say, it's peanut OIL not butter.....that would just make a nasty mess :lol: Nope, peanut butter my friend. I would assume peanut oil would work too - but the references were definitely made to peanut butter. I was amazed too. Quote
Bartflaster Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Yep, its the oil thats the working ingredient, but smooth butter works well without making a mess when applied in small amounts and rubbed in ;) Quote
Hollings Posted May 31, 2011 Author Posted May 31, 2011 tried the peanut butter, and other than looking a fool to my neighbours it does make a considerable difference! they look a lot healthier now, but i still think i need the plastidip for the damaged ones. Quote
Yowser Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Thats 68 plus vat and delivery - about 90 each. if you still want new - then MJP. Always MJP for OEM parts. Never use zcentre for oem. i dont know MJP's current price, but in general some parts are slightly cheaper, but lots of parts are a LOT cheaper. Edited May 31, 2011 by Yowser Quote
