Hey just wondering if anyone could let me know what material the red stripe that goes around the turbo 1 (and other cities) is and how I would go about reconditioning it? Also the "Turbo" writing in red on the side of the car. Cheers

Are you meaning the door strip? I thought that was normally black so i'm confused.
Photo's of what you mean would be good!

It's just red vinyl. I recently replaced mine on my T1. I first ordered some from Ebay ( china ) but it was horrible transparent rubbish...local vinyl sticker shop had uv protected stuff.

Vinyl on the bumpers only of course...the sides & Turbo lettering are red molded plastic. I removed one of the door pieces to check it out...wasn't easy to find replacement clips to re-attach it! Anyways not sure how to go about restoring the red... can see mines quite faded.
