2007 93 FADED EXTERIOR TRIM

#1 Post by DESERT FOX »

Hi all.

My 2007 93 Anniversary vector sport has faded exterior trim.

What colour originally were the triangles behind the door mirrors and also the door exterior trims.

Mine look like a faded Grey, so not sure if they were a darker grey or they are now a washed out black.

I would say very dark grey. If you want a low budget solution, try boiled linseed oil. You only need a tiny amount. Work it in with a rag or sponge and leave it to dry. It lasts loads longer than typical back to black products.

Wash your rags out with water after because they can apparently ignite. Wear gloves too, because the smell is quite strong.

Cheers many thanks for that.
