well have sourced them and got a price, all i need to do is buy them!!

Problem being i was put off big time the other day - saw a yellow sei with the black sporting strips on, and they looked awful :yuck:

stuck out very far, and were very poorly finished. so looking for some pics of the strips if anyone has them?? see how much they stick out etc?? maybe this one was an oddity?

also wondering if anyone knows what was done on the Silver UAD sei?? looking at pictures it appear to have black rub strips - but not FIAT ones??

Anyone any idea - My-Sei is down so cant ask him!?

Cheers(y)

Just PM'd him, didnt know he was online, and the my-sei website is down!!

Did fiat do a smaller rub strip for the side on S or SX models, or are they all the same?? pics all look like they actually stick out quite far from the door itself?

TBsei's are just painted onto the recess left in the door iirc although he's now sold the sei to a guy called martin on another website i cant remember the name of :(

rite ok, sort of wanted the plastic for some protection, but the one i saw stuck out LOADS, and sorta ruined the look of the wee car. Now tempted to just stick with the blue bits?? any opinions?

Other option is to try and source 2nd hand strips cheapish, so its no big deal if they dont look good. But finding them is a COMPLETE nightmare!
 
dunno if these pics help at all

could always spray the strips or spray a new set of stick on strips? :)

can do them in situ too (y) (i did :D :p)

you can get little D shaped door protectors that cover the holes, think they where on the S/SX specs

Re: Side Strips...again... again

I know I am a) raising an old dead thread and b) flogging a dead horse here but I have searched through the site for an answer before I asked and couldn't find one....

What would be the process for spraying the rub strips? Obv the sticker over the top would need to come off, but will they need sanded/primed before spraying?

Also, if I make a balls-up of it, how easy are the strips to remove and how big are the holes left when they come off?

I've an 03 Sei Sporting, yellow. Still to decide what colour I'd spray, prob body colour as I've seen a few on here which look good. Considered bright red but more than a little worried it'd look silly... :p
