Title: Sheet metal trim
Post by: Highland_Defender on July 25, 2010, 17:53:12: Hi all,

Im fitting a wee bit of chequer this week and would like to trim it off with some rubber or plastic trim just to keep it neat.

Anyone know what the correct stuff is called and where i can get it from?

Thanks

I tend to get stuff like that from Car Builder Solutions (Kit car people)

Darn sarf, we have people like Woolies (http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/). They could mail order to you if you can't find anything locally.
