I have a classic model that doesn't come with the chrome strip. I want to buy this to see if i could achieve the same results and if it works, probably a DIY writeup to follow.

What i would liek to find out from you is the width of our standard strip? i could probably work out the length myself by estimate.

Thanks in advance.
Regards

there are some of us who've removed the chrome strip. See if they'll sell it to you.

Not such a crap on your car ..... go to your dealer, you can buy the strips there..... or like Azn_C300 says, there are a lot off members take them off, ma be they sell it...

mrjsw

that would be nice if someone part it off, or otherwise anyone could advice me the parts number? Surely ebay would be my last resort, i do want to know the width though just in case.

Do you mean the chrome strips at the doors and the front fender?

i suppose the above parts number is one for each door and one of them is in pairs at the fender?

Yeah some of his stuff is expensive but still cheaper than the dealers.

Those strips are easy to fit but they are expensive! That sounds too expensive.

The stuff you linked is the same junk you can get at Autozone.

Sentosa

Autozone, What? Where? Have a look at where we are.

Welcome to the board... it is exceptional that there are people from outside the USA.

Anyway i went to the shopping center and measured one in the car lot.
it is 12mm width, so i ordered a 13mm one and see how it turn out. At the end it only cost me AUD50.00 worlth a try IMO.

Did you notice that the OE chrome strips are tapered on the leading and trailing ends?

Derspeed

Good God. Maybe there is something equivalent to chain auto parts stores in other parts of the world. Do I really need to spell it out?

Try this:

mrjsw, the stuff you linked looks like cheap junk you can get at a discount auto parts store. Tell me sir, do have those in your part of the world?

I am well aware that there are members from all over the world on this forum and benzworld. Most of the PM communications I have are with Canadians and Australians.

The OE chrome strips arnt that expensive, they will also look a 1000 times better than any aftermarket crap anyways ..
