Side Vent spray paint in Chrom look
I ordered a black side vent. But now I don't like the look on the car. Can I spraypaint this in chrom look:
Is there such color? Does that look the same as real chrome? Can I spray just over it? And finaly: How do I get this out without breaking the clips again
Thin bit of plastic will get it out...search the forum
if you need an original colour vent I have a spare and could swap

Hey Daniel, what's going on here!!!
I generously sent you my original side vent at no cost whatsoever to yourself.
I even paid the postage!!
And you say you ordered a black one!!
Unless explanations are forthcoming, I hope it bursts on you!!
I would retract your offer and give it wide body swerve if I were you Doctor D!!I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.
just wrap it in bacofoil!...the textured 'turkey-size' one will give it the corsa/106 look! 2007 HSE Java Black.....sold

Daniel, if you don't want it, I'd be happy to receive it as I'm looking for either a spare to re-spray black, or if your's is already Black, then that would be just spot on.

ronp hold your horses: When I swap cars I need an original one that is not damaged. So I'm not reselling one nor do I need another one. Broke off my original one to swap with the black one. If you now still angry with me I send it back to you and reimburse postage to you. No problem. I'm not in the business to make forummembers angry.

I have tryed them all
First got a spare off ebay and sprayed it Chrome ( yes you can get a spray ) but it never "took " to the plastic very well ..even with a plastic undercoat.
Secondly i got one of the "bright pack " ones ...a little better but still not what i was looking for
So Lastly i ended up with a "proper chrome" one from ebay ..
Now im happy

Not that spooky really. Was watching it for the last couple of days, saw this post, thought I ought to get around to bidding on the blooming thing. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
