deluxe trim dilemma?????

[bubba dubba]

Hi all,
im wanting to get some deluxe trim, and did a search on here on previous topics,.....the thing is im more confused about them now :lol: ......which are the best ones to go for?, c&c or just kampers, and do you think its worth the extra for stainless, i seem to remember talk of a group buy, did that ever happen? how soon do the normal ones go dull? and i remember somebody sticking theirs on with panel fix tape stuff is it still fixed on (i like the idea of not drilling holes)

sorry for all the questions......................kev

I went for C&C and it is very good. Needed a tiny bit of customising, but overall a great fit. It will never be as good as original, but I didn't have the time or patience (or money) to go for original.

The main bit is the corners which are not as flush as original, but from a pace or two it is fine. I would recomend going for original metal clips though, as I found the plastic ones broke easily. I got a load from FBI VW.

Went for C&C also. As said^^^ the rear corners dont fit!!! Infact they are utter crap and just worth slinging in the bin.
I fitted the C&C trim then soursed 1 genuine rear corner (still got 1 to get) and polished it up and stuck it on, perfect :mrgreen:
If you go stainless and the rear corners dont fit the OG ones wont do as theyre ally and wont match up.
C&C is the way to go IMO.

I bought original for £120ish from the states with all clips and screws. It fits perfectly but to fully polish takes real comitment.

Exactly what I plan to do - get some original corners

Cheers for the tips guys,..........how bad are the c&c corners?, any pictures so i can see the fit?....on the website it says they are aware some parts need reshaping, how can you bend them without putting a kink in them?.....for £260 i would like them to fit really :roll:

i would also like to see a few pics of the c&c stuff fitted,keep hearing its awfull and have been holding of getting some.started polishing my stuff up and got proper fedup with it so left it as it is

i fitted mine with refix tape about 3 years ago(mabee longer) and its still fine.not sure ill fitting corners would stay on with tape tho.

The corners up close have a mm or so off the body, but its really not that bad. I'll post some photos when I get my bus back next week

Even this method is not getting through it that quick. :|

But the results will be worthwhile I think.....eventually!! :roll:

I started polishing a piece of mine not long ago Paul I'm afraid it requires lots of elbow grease :roll: I started by 2000 wet and drying it, then got the dremel out and polished it up .....3 hours later and ONE yes ONE piece was done :lol: :lol:
