Stone guard and Walnut dash trim

[Geoff Crispin]

Thinking that I would like to fit s/s stone guards to my Z3 and Walnut Dash trim kit but can only locate these items in the USA. Does anyone know of a UK supplier/manufacturer as might be cheaper ?
Thought that these two items would supplement the American SC Power Roll Bar and chrome side air vents that I have fitted after some dent and scratch items sorted and maybe a Perspex wind shield.
Any help/comments greatly appreciated.
There are a couple pics. of the car in Progress Threads.

This is the kit I fitted to mine.

I Googled it on eBay and paid £80 delivered. Can't remember the name tho. It's a vinyl heat on system. Worked well and looks fine tho. Stone guards, I have clear 3m ones which came off a UK eBay seller. They were less than £15 if my memory serves me correctly.

If you have a word with @Ian_C who makes the stone guards, I think that he said he can make them chromed. Hopefully Ian will pop by and confirm

Done my by hydrographic dipping.

 

[Geoff Crispin]

What is hydrographic dipping ? and the cost. I was also wanting the areas on doors done as well

 

[Antm72]

Hydro dipping is a ink transfer dipping process.The ink pattern is on a sheet which is laid on water when an activator is sprayed on the sheet desolves leaving the floating ink the part is the dipped through the ink which covers everypart.
This is then laquered and polished to finish.
Prices vary depending on size i suppose but is something each individual business will stipulate but i imagine it will be on par with a good stick on kit.

 

[Geoff Crispin]

EM, would that mean the parts have to be remove from the car ?

 

[Low Rider]

Yes the parts need to be removed and dipped in a tank. Check out youtube to see hows its done

 

[Geoff Crispin]

Thanks, but don't want to go to the bother of removing items, think it will be better for me to buy the complete kit but can only find one from the states so will have to pay postage.
