*WTD* - KG side trim

Post by Fonz »

Trying to find some original side trim for my '60 Ghia.

If anyone has any/knows of any, would love to hear.

Obviously, the straighter the better.

Not a huge hurry.

Yeah it's for the Mango.

I have some repro stuff which I bought for the schwarz KG but it's not as good as the OG stuff.

I heard through a contact that the guy from the US making those beautiful, detail correct billet deluxe bus bumper deco trims is considering making a 'perfect' repro of the Ghia side molding, even the early lowlight ones with the seperate inserts for the ends. I'll follow it up and find out.

That'd be good. Though I don't think I've ever come accross a perfect repro of anything.

There are a couple of US companies already doing side-trim repros, but neither are quite as good as the original stuff from what I can see.
