Hi all,

Recently browsing in Aldi and found some silver/ chrome tape which I just chucked in the pile of bits n pieces in my tool cab for a rainy day. Was messing with the door panels on my polara and noticed the horizontal chrome trim strips looked very worn. Rears had no chrome on. One strip still fine and original. They originally had a tape like chrome covering. Tried the tape which comes off backing like very tacky tin foil. Bit fiddly but after a couple of goes, it went on great and cant tell the difference between old original good strip and newly refurbed strips..... And all for a couple of quid!!

Cheers, steve

I think this is where one usually says...






Sounds like a good fix. Like our £2 roll of woodgrain fablon to refurb our console, saving $$$

Love it when things workout like that, Bananarama! happened more often!

I cant add photos from my iphone but will add some over weekend when I have access to my laptop,

Cheers Steve

Also, Halfords sell a boy racer type of chrome plastic half tube trim

Self adhesive and easy to use

Did the chrome trim on my headrests with this and you'd never know

Nice going Steve. All very Blue Peter!

..................Keeping on theme, what will you be utilising the fairy liquid bottle for?

Great tip

Is this tape not the stuff around vent tubes for aircon system extractor ????

sorry for late reply re this, I was trying to remove the fairy liquid bottle.......oops!

Im not sure if this is like the air con tape mentioned, it is very thin when removed from the backing tape, and as my dad says about about everything, it sticks like Bananarama! to a blanket!! Its like really sticky tin foil.

The first pic shows the only original good trim, second pic shows tape on the horizontal trim piece and the last one shows the tape.... cheers steve
