Alloy Wheels & Various Trim Parts

[FarmerPug]

hows the parts i sent you, did they do the job?

They were just right thanks. Window switches are spot on, but still haven't finished with the trims. I'm learning just how difficult it is to get a nice smooth finish when spraying. A couple have come out perfect, but got a massive run in one & it all went funny when I rubbed it down so had to use primer again to smooth it out.

These had electric windows all round. The cards still have the handles, but I wouldn't know how to take them off. Had considered doing the handle swap myself as my "new" ones are a bit sh*te, but the old ones are mint. If you want them though, they're still here at the moment.

Thanks waue
ineed one off a lx that dont have rear electrics,

if you look at the back of the handles you will see parts where there moulded to the cards,
you have to get a soldering iron to heat up the welds and they will come off,

get them off if you can and save them there handy to keep for spares and itl save you buying full cards if you ever need 2 fresh ones,

Might just do that - the door cards are taking up valuable real estate in the shed, but the rear handles should fit easily.

Coming soon to the for sale section - 1 half leather interior for a saloon with electric front seats.

get the handles off and bin the cards

saloon interior ?
thought you only had estate 406 mate.

Half leather is this out of a SE model by any chance

I do have an estate - that's why the (yes SE) saloon interior is going.

I'm having a similar nightmare painting so I'm taking the stuff to the bodyshop to get painted

Have you used Plastic primer?
ordinary primer on plastic isnt good it doesnt form a good key for the paint to go on,

if you spray it in fine layers and build it up a coat at atime it wont run,
also warming the Rattle can in a bucket of warm water before use helps the paint come out the can evenly too so ive found
out ,

It all went on ok to start with. 5 out of 6 bits are ok, just got that funny orange peel effect, but no runs. The one with the run was where I got pi**ed off with waiting & sprayed loads on it.

Here's a pic of the front seats, but I'm told the rears are mint:





& if it's to go in your car Lozz, at least you'll already have the wiring tucked under your seat for them. As far as price goes, it's offers at the mo as it'll be a few days before the full interior is available.
