MB15 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hello, I`ve just bought a manta b coupe and i`m looking for a few wee bits , The first thing i`m struggling to find is the front and rear spreader strips, + corner pieces They are normally in chrome or black i think? The windows are all fitted with black seal ect just the spreader strips are missing, Someone said they can be bought new but i`m not sure where, Any help in the right direction would be great, Regards Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opelscott22 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Kev, you can buy new chrome strip from woolies trim in the uk. Ive seen black trim on german ebay but its not cheap! Scott. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stradacab Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 East Kent trim supplies do the chrome one for about 1.85 ish per meter. Speak to Richard or Lee iirc, they are great. I can't remember how much you need to do a front and rear screen on a coupe sorry! I need black for my GT/J project, hopefully the earlier post about it being expensive isn't true!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I've got the corner pieces in chrome and black i think. Should also have the spreader strips in black, but as they are old ones they may be shrunk slightly and not reach all the way to the ends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lepo5 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Kev, I would invest in one of the universal fitting tools as well, it will save you a lot of grief and time as well, a bit pricey but worth it. http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/p-1022-universal-fitting-tool.aspx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
