Rear Chrome Strip Above Numberplate Later Models

[big boy stevie]

hi guys on the later models of galaxy ghia's they were fitted with chrome handels and a chrome strip above rear numberplate does anyone now if these fit all models of the mark 2 and if it is just bolted on and does anyone have an idea of the price of these chrome strips.

 

many thanks steve

Yup, will fit fine - two screws and one bolt. The chrome clips onto the plastic trim, so that has to replaced - its about

The chrome makes a big difference to the black ones, I got mine from a local breaker -

i cheated today i made a start on refurbing my mullered alloys and had some silver paint left in my gun, so i sprayed my foglight surrounds and my grill silver just for now till i can afford the real deal, all in my shed drying at the moment sprayed in 2 pack so still a bit tacky to stick on but should pop on tomorrow, ive been very busy today got rid of the annoying banging from front droplinks that were well knackered and painted front calipers at the same time while i was there droplinks have made such a difference i was very suprised, i changed them on my mk 1 galaxy just because i got them cheap but drives very nice now wife was very impressed with results, only had car just over a week and done so much in such a short time.

The problem with the rear chrome strip is that you have to buy the number plate light holder that takes it, as there is a recess cut in it to which the chrome strip fits which is not present on the original. This comes in primer grey and needs painting. It might have changed in later models, but I had to buy both bits for mine and paint the holder. The mounting tags on the chrome strip are very weak and break off if you insert and remove it too many times.
