I think I paid around £80 in total, that was ~£20 for the parts then £60 to get them smoothed painted and fitted which I thought was reasonable but it looks like it could be done cheaper.

i had the new ones rubbed down plastic primed and painted so they are smooth and colour coded

thats what i did! they are stuck on, no holes when you take them off don't worry! And i use a fabulous bodyshop in portsmouth if you're anywhere near there i can give u the details! they've worked on my mk1 106 i had, my corolla t sport and my ibiza and they are top notch and they are cheap!

Coloured strips on a silver ibiza...

Just gotta find out how to spray the handles!

Cost me...
£20 for strips
£12 to get the paint mixed up in a spray can
£4 for primer
£4 for lacquer

Came out well! Could use a machine polish one day, which I imagine wouldn't be necessary if you got a paintshop to paint them for you

yea thats what i want! looks so much cleaner with colour coded strips....gonna buy the parts then prime them myself...maybe chuck a few quid at a bodyshop place and see if they will spray them for me...

I agree looks so much cleaner and will make cleaning the car better/easier

 

[knight85]

anyone got the part numbers?

guess it 4 parts as the strip splits into two with the door....

 

[knight85]

do the strips come with the sticky pads to fit? or are they extra?

 

[BaggyHTID]

Do seat not provide primed strips? Im sure i read somewhere someone got thm ready primed. I phoned seat in coventry the other day and they said they could only get the textured ones, gonna cost more to get sorted

 

[knight85]

oh no....thats not good, im gonna buy the strips this week then see if ican get a bodyshop to spray and fit them for cheap

 

[st10587]

The ones you buy from seat come in black textured plastic and already have the tape on the back to stick them on

 

[knight85]

hmmmm..can u not get them without the textured look? otherwise i need to get them sanded down and primed

 

[st10587]

nope you cant. to be honest though a light sand and decent layer of primer will loose the texture any way

 

[knight85]

awesome....will do that then....surely it wont cost them much to spray them if i do all the donkey work of priming....

you get my pm about spacers? wanted to check i get the right length bolts?

to be honest it will not save you that much as they will sand and reprime your prime coat i would have thought before they paint them. also im lazy so would rather get someone to do it and do it right first time

you PM was replied to

 

[knight85]

yea u have a point there...just need to find somewhere that will do it cheap.....

cant beleive the volkswagon place said about 200 quid...i was looking to spend approx 50 am i too over optimistic?

cheers for pm?

spacers will be ordered soon

 

[knight85]

right got an update

found a local place who will do it 90 quid all in.....thats sanding, priming, spraying, lacquer...and fitting of new ones and taking off of the old...

this sound resonable?

 

[knight85]

anyone know the part numbers for the strips?
