Door finishers

zojosc · 12th April 2009, 12:07

Just spent hours fitting crofts finishers (thanks for you effort again mate). No pics to see as I now have taken them off(took even longer as I used silicone)
Reason: I seem to loose the lovely chrome line that runs the length of the car and the finishers seem to exagerate the holes behind the handles.
Am I the only one to think that sometimes the finishers dont work? Colour of car is white gold so perhaps makes a differance.
Before I get loads of requests for them I plan to keep them and another set I have for a while and then bang them out on fleebay for thousands!.......just joking........watch this space!!!!!!!!!!!

a number of people say they don't work on silver cars,but for me they do.they look class..thinking about it they do change the line of the trim,for the better...

No mate your not the only one to think this.

My ZT is Solar RED so I dont have the chrome wing and door strips I did a temporary fix with the blue tac suggestion and I don't think they look right on my car, I was also thinking about chrome mirror backs but now have decided against that idea as well.

So I may offer them for sale to club members only for what I paid + postage, but haven't decided yet, I might bring them with me to Cosford and if anybody really wants a set then I may part with them, again only for what I paid £40.

I've refrained from fitting mine for the same reason.

I will try the bluetack trick later.

as soon as i fitted mine i was happy with the look,the chrome doesn't stand out as much on a silver car,more colour coded..but on darker colours it may effect the lines.stick them on sure they will grow on you

Dont forget the practical use of them as well, you will be surprised how many scratches accumulate behind the handle from her indoors nails

I decided not to fit mine to the V8 as it destroys the Chromactive effect of the Twilight colour where it shows up most in the handle bowls.

However they will be fitted to Mrs Jule's Ignition Blue ZT though, as they will compliment the almost chrome look to the 17" Star Alloys (from 75 Contemporary)
