S3 airflow vents, door strikers

PostPost by: pptom » Sun Oct 20, 2024 5:36 pm

Hello, just picked up a fair old project of an S3, missing a few components, the main 2 being the 1/4 panel airflow vents and a pair of door strikers.
Also don't have any rear lights, but might be able to get around this with the sprint style round units
I'm in the UK
Thanks for looking
Tom

Hello Tom
Looking at your pictures, have you thought of buying some thick gasket material and cutting your own. It is usually easier to get and comes in different thicknesses. Not sure how easy it will be to get originals from the usual suppliers, so making your own is an easy alternative

Just posted a reply, but it's not here, so apologies if it appears as a duplicate
I've had a right root around and got everything organised now, found the door strikers, so apologies, but am still missing the rear lights and Airflow Grilles.

Been getting into 3D CAD and printing recently, so that could be an option. Should be easy to design and print something to fill the gap. A bit more tricky to exactly reproduce the original, but doable I think.
Could have the printed part silvered or use it as a casting mould.
