Repro nose trims ('moustache') - Plus 2

PostPost by: nwbaxter66 » Fri Feb 12, 2021 7:19 pm

Sorry, I didnt see the rush of responses on this topic.

4 fasteners, they slide into each side and then the two pieces are joined by a simple bar that slides into the two ends.
My car had been refinished without the chrome so I had to drill four holes in order to install.

Hindsight being 20/20 I would have joined the two pieces together in some permanent fashion and then used heat to size and shape to fit the hole and then gone from there. I think with some time you could almost make the join invisible

I will post a photo of my adequate job this weekend - no armchair critics please (:

(For the needy impecunious) I believe that the grille trim from a Honda CR-V Mark I can be fettled to fit reasonably.
