    Full Re-spray Advice

    Because i'm condisering having a full re-spray in the near future i'm trying to get all the bit needed together so that theres no last minute rush.
    Would it be advisable to remove the door piller stickers and also the Williams Kick Plate Stickers, and use some new uns after the re-spray? Is the paint more likely to flake off if it's only sprayed up to these parts if there masked off? May as-well do the job properly. Matt

    if it was me mate id relace all the bits that i could for new

    i.e. bymper strips, door handles, door strips, winder rubbers, b piller stickers, williams stickers and kick plates to name but a few

    its a shame to see cars repsrayed but old parts like these left looking rather dated and shabby

    if ur going for proper job, i'd rip most of the trim off and replace everything i could afford to, its amazing how much nicer a few new trim parts can make a car look

    K guys....at the mo my list includes -
    Front Bumper
    Rear Bumper
    All Williams Stickers
    Door Pillar Strips
    Williams Kick Plates.

    Hope that most of the rubbers will clean up ok...as there all pretty expensive from Renault. The Door Bump Strips could do with some TLC and the scuttle panel need sorting really, as well as the roof rails.

    As mentioned though....seems stupid putting old stuff back onto a re-sprayed car.

    Can you not just spray some black spraypaint on your old scuttle panel?

    I've got some matt black spray in the garage, have considered giving that a go... lol

    Did that on my hybrid m8...did look good...but the paint started to peel off after a while. WD40 seems to bring them back to kind of half decent!

    with regard to the scuttle panel, if you didnt want to pay for a brand new one but wanted one in better condition could you not take one from a later reg phase 2??
