sr vinyl

[gordo]

hi folks i am doing a doing a full rebuild on a sr. but does any one know if you can still buy the grey vinyl for below the mouldings and the ones for on the b pillars?

thanks

[Pistol Pete]

Yes you can. Shame you're not a member though, because you can buy it the club shop. Get that £10 out...could be money well spent!

[NathanSRi]

But the ones in the club shop are matt black arent they?

[bmw156]

yeh as said above, you can get them off here in the club shop. but you cant get them from vauxhall any more

the ones on here are a close match but i believe they are smooth

[Pistol Pete]

I think whoever sorted out the black stuff (ade IIRC?) they are looking into getting the original blue/grey stuff aswell.

ade is trying to get a blue/grey set for later sr's done but he doe's not know if he'll be able to get an exact match or the same texture hopefully he will come up trumps though lol

edit pete you beat me lol

[gordo]

cool do you know how much they are? i am rebuilding the car for a friend but may consider joining.

[Pistol Pete]

Full set is £166.

Rear 1/4 and sill £27.50 per side
Wing part £16.50 per side
Door vinyl £27 per side
B pillar set £34

In the set you get all the above plus bonnet badge and top boot trim.

[dj_wudgey]

which is not bad at all!!

And that is matt black (which IMO looks better) and still has the texture iirc.

[dj_wudgey]

[dj_wudgey]

The vinyl in the shop is made from long life matt black - it's smooth which tbh is better because its easier to clean.

I spoke to the vinyl company that are doing the sr vinyl for me and you cannot get original blue grey vinyl anywhere. Vauxhall dont stock it and 3M stopped making it 15 yrs ago! We're looking into getting a custom roll of blue grey made up specifically for the club but it comes in 50mtr rolls minimum and as you can imagine it's not cheap!

the printed stuff - incase anyones wondering - isnt properly matt and will fade within 3 yrs...
