Title: Finally got them (almost) Post by: mirafioriman on April 17, 2014, 08:33:27 PM My Fiat Argenta project is going to become a series 2.
For a long time now I've been looking for the final piece of the puzzle, a set of original series 2 wheel trims. A while ago I picked up a pair of NOS inner trims but couldn't find two more or any of the chrome trim rings. This week I've found some of each. I now have three NOS chrome trim rings and four more NOS inner trims are on their way. The seller in Italy did have four of the chrome trim rings but had listed them seperately and one had already sold ::) So I'm now just one of the chrome trim rings missing. Here's a picture of my three chrome trim rings with my secondhand inner trim tried out to check out the 'look' :) (http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/fiatrestorer/2014_0417Argentatrims0003_zpsbf4aa38d.jpg) If anyone knows where there is an extra chrome trim ring.....

Same seller. Looks like this one has some small spots of corrosion on it despite also being NOS, but at least when everything arrives I will have a full set of trims at last. ;D Title: Re: Finally got them (almost) Post by: jack1 on April 17, 2014, 11:00:52 PM very nice ,,,,have you got clips for them ?

(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/fiatrestorer/2014_0422Argentainnertrims0003_zps44973154.jpg) The last chrome trim ring is now on its way so will soon finally have a full set ;D Title: Re: Finally got them (almost) Post by: c.a.c131 on April 22, 2014, 10:03:46 PM Did you find them on ebay Dave ? I found two NOS hub caps on ebay for my Regata.
Title: Re: Finally got them (almost) Post by: mirafioriman on April 22, 2014, 10:32:17 PM Yes everything came via ebay, although on this occasion ebay Italia.
Title: Re: Finally got them (almost) Post by: mirafioriman on April 26, 2014, 09:56:29 PM Well, the other two trim rings have arrived safely so I now have everything needed. There are a few spots of rust but it's just typical poor Fiat quality really. Virtually no chrome on the inner part. Not tried them yet but hopefully they'll look good.
