Rear Strip on Wagons ?

Finny · Post by **Finny** » Mon Jul 20, 2009 10:58 pm

I can see that the FB's have a chrome strip that runs along the top of the tailgate top, just above the glass.
It's level with the roof side chrome strips on the FB wagons.
The FB wagon roof side strips were lower than the EK's.

Did the EK wagon's have a chrome strip that went over the ridge across the rear of the roof ? I thought it did

If not, was the little roof ridge painted roof colour or body colour ?????
Neither of my wagons had one, and I can't seem to make out on any other wagons if they do or not.

I think it looks a bit better with the the roof colour, like in Trev's.

But I've now thought of another paint effect where I can run the roof colour down over the back ????

Wonder how many time you can paint different colours over the top of each other before you need to strip it back down.

I did see that Trev.
But couldn't quite make it out in the picture.

I suppose you can add it on at any stage

I think Tim's referring to your second post.
"Stainless strip"

I still can't make it out clearly from the pic

Wow, must have put it on for the photos and taken if off again to go to Tim's.

Anyhow, back to the original question.

Guys mine is painted white but I Have put a chrome plastic stick on strip that is self adhesive that I bought back from Indonesia.
The srip is u shaped and fits over the painted metal perfect.
I have also taken the ugly black rubber around the Spats and used the same plastic chrome around the boarder.
At a $1 a meter in Indonesia I think it looks good.

Trev, it looks like your mum was wrong.

Based on what Wag62 says, Tim may need glasses ?
