Shoshy Site Supporter Registered: 27/01/14 Posts: 83 Loc: Surrey	A bit of the white paint from my plastic side strip has come off when power washing with a car was power washer. This has left a black mark around a couple inches long on the side. Whats the best idea to fill it in or shall I just buy a full new bit? I'll try to upload a picture tomorrow _________________________ Torque of the Devil Torque of the Town

You could either get the strip removed and re-painted, or look for a second hand one in white. Could be wrong but I'd guess a new one would be petty expensive. _________________________ 2005 Fiesta ST - wrote off Newman fast road cams, Fusion Fabrications custom inlet manifold, custom exhaust

I bought the ST ones and put on my ZS (cause the ZS ones were straight and not tapered like the ST) _________________________ 2015 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
