Front grille trim x4 (Caravelle) vendors

[Andyman]

Looking to buy some Blue grill trim

Everywhere I look there is only 2 pieces available for the top grill and then the bottom grill

Our grill has 4 pieces of chrome trim, 2 either side of the badge, anyone know where I can get all 4 pieces? As per attached image

The obvious place like Vanstyle actually only sell the 2 lower pieces

Thanks all

Possibly change the badge as well to same colour as trim

Vanstyle actually want me to buy a whole new grill to overcome the issue

Wrap them?

Wrap them?

Why you always push me to the simple solution lol

And….. you know anyone local who can wrap them

Got mine wrapped when it was being converted

I haven't done it, but I'm told it's a straightforward DIY solution. Get your preferred wrap colour from Amazon, super clean your grills, apply and run a hairdryer/heatgun over it to shrink it on, then trim with a new, sharp blade. Hey, if you cock it up, just peel it off and give it another go!

What colour are you after? Vanstyle do sell them; they have either red or carbon - not as a set of 4 but split into the upper and lower sections of the top grille

Trying to decide which is nicest blue or red on reflex silver

Issue is with Vanstyle, they only do the lower part of the top grill

 

[Jwardy23]

Are these not both sets you’re after? I know they don’t do the other colours like it though (blue, green etc)

 

[Andyman]

Yes!!!!!!!

For what it costs, I'd have a go at wrapping first. The carbon trims I bought for mine were a crap fit anyway.

@Jwardy23 when I calle they said they don’t have them lol back to the phone

Ahhh I see, confusing having them on their website still in red + carbon. Looks like it’s gunna be a wrap job…

@JOG you seem to have come out trumps

So based on that and the fact that you’re a good guy, any preferred wrap on Amazon I ought to use?

Ps OH says if i cock it up peel
It off and do it again, doesn’t cut it,

Well, you only went and set expectations with OH that you are incapable of managing!

I’m going to defer to @Texxaco who did some mirror wrapping a while back - I mean, who starts on a shape like a mirror for a first attempt? He nailed it and will know what/where to buy!

@Andyman have you tried getting the grills out yet? I had a go in the summer and gave up get them out first and then worry about wrapping them. You might end up just buying a whole new front grill..

It’s feckin difficult and takes the patience of a monk, god only knows how I did it without launching the heat gun.

My advice, pay someone to do it. It made me appreciate people who wrap stuff for a living.
