digs Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Hi, quick bit of advice please Fitted sideskirts to my 6g ss1, but they did not come with edging so bought some from Toyota. They only came in grey, car is white so I painted them and fixed them on. Trouble is now the paint has worn down and it looks pretty rubbish. Any suggestion for sorting out ? Options seem to be take off edging altogether, though there is going to be a gap, repaint but means taking off skirt (which as adhered on not my favourite option by a long shot!) or maybe covering the edging which something like vinyl strip? Or maybe painting while on car still ... Bit annoyed at myself now! Do it right first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devious Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Personally I would advize taking off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devious Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Lock stock part by part will give you the best finish. Depending on your paint skills you could re paint whilst still on but don't forget to account for fade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamGTR Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Even if the car is white, weather strip is always grey, so should still look OEM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planc Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Give me a PM tomorrow night and I will look into it for you, I am pretty sure Toyota will do white seals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowchinaman Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 get a new strip from Toyota. You can get them in white. Ask for a skirt trim for a Yaris or wheel arch top edge trim from a Rave 4 as they are all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
