the black strips which run from along the sides of the windscreen up onto the targa's are peeling off showing stainless steel underneath...any ideas on difficulty in getting them re-done... seem it could cost a bit for something so small or has anyone just peeled the rest of the black off leaving shiny strips...if so does it look worse better?

cheers

Now this is going to sound like a bodge but try it first. I used black insulation/electrical tape. Make sure you get the right width of course and take your time putting it on straight etc. Honestly - it looks as good as new! If you do have patches off the s/steel showing through it would be a good idea to take it all of otherwise you will see the uneveness through the tape. Try it anyway, if you don't like it, then paint 'em!

See pics left and right.

whoever had my motor before be has stripped it down to the metal and it looks ok to me :cool:

cant you buy them from the z centre

Youre right mate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That does sound like a bodge:)

I have the same with mine & I started to strip em down, but dont like the chrome look

 

I have a set on my spare car in good nick... anyone have a guide or tips on how to change them?

Youre right mate.

Nowt wrong with that -

 

 

I am super fussy when it comes to my Z so it would've come straight off it didn't look as good as it did originally :)

...... anyone have a guide or tips on how to change them?

Nothing wrong with that James, as long as you like it ;) lol

 

 

 

 

Nah! Only joking mate............... One the black strip along the bottom edge of the TT spoiler is only tape! And the cost of replacement windscreen edging strips is quite a lot, well over £60 for both sides, let alone the other ones across the roof! (£117.50 + delivery from ZCentre, for the lot)

I've had mine painted in Metalflake, they look cool as FVck when the sun shines on them....

:D cheers Dave

James, when you cover them with the tape, do they look as good as these?

 

 

I really want to get mine sorted but the price from the Zcentre is unreal. :eek:

cheers an thanks for all of the above...for the moment i think i'll try the chrome look and maybe upgrade to James300 leccy tape idea later on...:)

FAO James300 you still got the rad cap?...i saw on another thread you had a spare after replacing with a nismo one...i would like to try another incase my cap is causing boil overs/overheating...send an email if you have....cheers

PM me your address bud and I'll get it off to you.
