Wing Piping

Post by russ_smith »

Hello, I hope you can help, I am trying to find out what the colour of the wing piping is for a platinum grey car. A friend of mine in Sweden is restoring a lowlight, the original piping looks like it is light grey, although it could have faded over the uears. I've tried contacting several users of this site from an old thread about the colour but no replies.
Forgot to also ask any pictures of platinum grey car with wing piping in place would be helpful, so I can print and post on to my friend who doesn't use the internet. thanks Russ.

Russ,

You can get the correct 4mm beading, but it will need to be oversprayed in Platinum Grey if you want a correct match for colour.

I believe that Hills Rubber Company in Reading have a supply, I will check.
Note:- Series MMs had piping on the front wings as well as the rears
