Following my recent purchase of this car, I need to gather some parts to get her looking like I want.

Her side trims (and bumpers to a lesser extent) have "weathered" both in respect of the plastic and the metal inserts. I've tried cleaning the plastic with an agressive cleaner but there appears to be a film or lacquer over the plastic preventing the cleaning agent doing it's job. I could consider having them painted but I'd really prefer new old stock parts. There are a few odd pieces of trim on Ebay Italia from time to time but there are 8 unique parts to source. One seller has three from one side but is looking for ?150!!

My question is whether anyone knows of other sources, either new or very good secondhand....

Cheers





I'd like it they looked like this..... Smiley

I was already afraid to see this, I had a low mileage Argenta with the same trouble. The old plastics detoriate, will be extremely difficult to find, thrown away ages ago and when you find several panels I hope the colour will be equal.
Best of luck Kevin
