grp nightmare
carlknight1982 - 30/5/11 at 02:03 PM

ok so ive started fitting my grp rear end, to discover that i have a rather nasty ragged gap of about 4mm at its widest between the rear and the sides, i need some trim to go in here, any recomendations?

ive been thinking about a bead of black silicon to cover it as my bodywork is anthracite in color so i wouldnt get a match.

It would be better to fill it with some rubber sheet?

Would tadpole trim work?

Who supplied the bodywork?

saturn. its my mis measurement thats faffed it up, i cut 10mm short i should have had about 6mm of grp in excess to clean the cut but alas nope.
