The strips are sold from auto parts stores hereabouts, they are self-adhesive and can be cut to length.... similar stuff can be found at hardware stores for mirrors...

Bye, Frido.

Frido is right. Strips in all kinds of sizes can be found in most (specialized) auto parts stores (not Halfords, or at least not here in Holland).

For some inspiration, click through this thread on the forum of our German friends.

http://www.audi-a2club.de/thread.php?threadid=976&sid=

It lasts for 4 or 5 pages and you will see 'chrome' strips and some pictures of the used materials and techniques.
Strips can be seen on this lower grille, but also on at the bottom of side and back windows, on the brake light lower edge and even on the service flap (just like Abt sportsline sells them).

Personally, I have had some 3 meters of flexible chrome u-shaped striping lying around for 3 or 4 months now. I haven't come round to trying to fit it yet, as I fear I've bought the wrong size and shape.

But, have a look at the pictures in the thread above and get some inspiration from there...!

Cheer,

Edo

Some more info from the above-mentioned thread on the german forum:

The material used is originally sold as protectors for car door´s edges, and was approx. 30 Euros for 3 meters of material.
I will try to buy some for my car and if you can not get it in the UK, email me!

Bye, Frido.

went to 3 Halfords today didn't have any! Asked the staff and they just looked at me as if I'd just arrived from another planet... Had no idea if they stocked it, had no idea if it was coming in etc etc... So if anyone has managed to find any in the West London area around Ealing way give me a shout.... or a donantion of some would be even better (cheeky I know) willing to pay though!
 
Shezlee,

I've emailed you about the leftovers. I would be more than happy to buy them from you since the trim is not easily available in the netherlands.
Please email me via the forum or at [email protected].

Thanks !
