Coral front guards wanted

Post by wallp »

Hello
I am chasing a pair of coral front guards and also a LH inner guard cut, there is rust in the inner guard and the car hit a roo and the front where the inner guard bolts on to the outer doesn't line up also, hence the brown guards and panel work on the inner guard, see attached
cheers Paul

Guards will be near impossible to get, if yours are ok then repair and paint.

Good to see another wagon coming back to life.

What Greg said , finding a pair of front guards in the right colour and good enough to just fit without repairing or painting will probably set you back what you paid for the car :shock:

when you go to buy the paint and they say they can only colour match it youre at the wrong store.

go to a store that sells ppg paint.

probably better off polishing the existing stuff up and getting it colour matched with a spectrometer , no doubt it would have faded a bit and they can adjust the colour to suit .
