Front Impact Strip Question

I scratched the right front impact strip pretty good and broke the side light - fortunately all the damage is on the strip. Seems the strip is replaceable from what I read in the forum but most are going to Euro without the side light and I dont mind the light and prefer just to fix the one side. Question is - from the dealer does the stock strip come painted and does it include the side marker? Also to remove with the plastic wedge - a little more info there woudl be good. Can you buy the strip painted somewhere with light?

the strip should come painted. when i bought my Euro Strips from steve, they were painted. when i bought the strips for my parktronic, they were primered, but that was because they discontinued Citron Green.

try posting in the classified WTB: impact strip. maybe youll get lucky and find someone with the same color sedan, who traded out for Euro and can sell their old ones.

i have a set of euro strips but they are for the coupe.

Yes, the strips come painted from the dealer. I paid 51.00 each for the coupe.

Can a US dealer order European parts?
