NEVER tell a panel beater to take his time. 23 months in the making.

Now the fun part, puting it all back together So much more money to spend. Only problem with new paint is everything else has to be brought up to standard.

Man I love my JDM tail lights

PM me if you have a bonnet popping cable or some extractors. Thanks to my fellow ANZACS I already have a mint dash top from Melbourne.

I just asked panel beater to match the badge I had. Its a bit darker I think but said I wanted the original matte finish. I am more than happy with result.

SOMEONE must have some clips available?

Yeah it looks good mate.

Those clips are a pain in the arse, try this place mate - http://www.scottsoldautorubber.com.au/page41.jpg

no the clips are fully unique. I have priced up getting the rusty ones I have made again and it is going to cost over $400.

Someone MUST have spares.

Just found ONE new one, in a Box of goodies.

the end one for with the screw hole,

will take to shop and get prices to have them made here

thanks heaps!

ooh me too i will always be up for a new set of clips..

I am not looking forward to the day i need to actually find the clips around the rear window

you can get clips for rear window still, either plastic or metal

I'll check my clips when I pull my strip off, if they are good I should be easily able to get them replicated.

I have the 2 sets off my 2 cars.

both of them are fine currently have them out getting looked at by a few shops to get them made, should know more in a few weeks

Win. Well done mate, should make a few people happy

Nice.

The small clips (about 20 of them) that hold the stainless trim on around the front/rear screens are exactly the same as old school Holden ones. They are easy to get. Well they are easy to get in New Zealand so Ozzie should be even easier.

Super stoked with the offers of assistance Gents. I enquired here with a stainless spring making company and they said due to having to copy/profile/lots of labour finishing the cost would be up in the hundreds.

I will watch with baited breath to see if you guys find a cheaper option.

This Japanese guy has the idea and written a blog about it, but I cannot be bothered going to this level of effort - trim clip blog Besides I am a perfectionist and would not be happy they would stay on without the small teeth to grip the boot lid itself.
