Bahh I've destroyed one of my chrome finisher's

johnnyb44 · 2nd October 2022, 10:12

Around 7 years ago I fitted some chrome finisher's that fit behind the door handles. I made sure they where stuck down thoroughly and then enjoyed them.
Over the years though the silicone I used has deteriorated and unbeknowing to me the passenger front door one fell off overnight. In the morning I jumped into the car to go to work and "yes you've guessed it" I ran over it completely destroying it.
I think it's going to be an impossible task now to just find one for sale but I'll keep looking ��

I found a set of four on e-bay today, maybe you could ask the seller if they would sell you just one.

He must sell odd ones because he has sold 41.

N0, I think he has sold 41 sets of 4 unfortunately.

Having one to replace the damaged one, and three spares for when the silicone on the others let go might be handy... Just a thought!
