Caddy Side Strips Trim Buffers
These have been a massive pain in the dick to sort out. I should get the repainted ones back on van in next few days.
Actually I should have bought new ones but at that point I could not find anyone to sell them (now I can)
Also, will update with pics soon as able.
There is literally zero reference about this online that I could find which would have saved me lots of searching about if it were ... soon to come
Also also, learned about the magic rubber wheel that you can attach to a drill to remove 3M adhesive, life saver.
Because of all this, I am now committed to doing all external plastics DIY to same finish or I will get poor colour match (not that it matters at 50mph which I always drive on NSL roads of course) ... Did not want to touch bumpers but probably needs must. ouchy.
Lessons learned
