Red stripe reconditioning

Postby bitterberry » Tue Nov 25, 2014 8:19 pm

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!

What I'm talking about is the red strip in the door strip. It turns to white on my front/rear bumpers where it's normally red

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.

I was thinking of masking it up all on the car, repainting the black then prolly re-masking it all & spraying the red. It's currently on the To Do list...
