      any one have any ideas on rubber edging for spats,
      as i have a pair and one is missing.
      
      also can someone  tell me why some  emblems      
      such as bonnet or horn are blue or gold. im guessing
       age of vehicle has something to do with it

      cheers Scott

Can't help you with the spats question - never had 'em, don't like 'em.

The question about badge colouring has less to do with age and more to do with time spent in the sun.  The blue colour is simply the first to fade out of the horn/bonnet button, revealing the gold colour and silver vacuum-metallizing underneath.  Given enough UV exposure (ie years and years) the red and gold will both eventually disappear.

Hi Scott,
Clark Rubber should have the rubber edging you need for your spat ;)

Scott,
The rubber edge moulding can be purchased from any clark rubber store.

I picked up some of the rubber edging from Spectum Rubber in Dunheved (nr St Marys) NSW.

Thanks

     Thought you might suggest clarkes, but thought
      i would ask anyway.
      I only want to make them complete before i moved
      them on, wont fit due to my wide wheels.

       So i guess what you are saying RET is the emblems
       all started out blue centred. can someone suggest  
       a shade of blue.

      Cheers Scott
