Title: FE Special front seat plastic trim pieces Post by: RichFC on July 12, 2021, 07:02:02 AM G'day Folks,
I have an FE special with the typical red and white interior but it's missing the front seat upper and lower plastic trims. I have a set of very good ones to install but they are from an FC which means they are the standard black. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction regarding the correct colour/sheen and brand of paint that i should be using to re-colour these pieces before installing. Thank you very much.

I really appreciate the offer of the "fall red" paint Vern but as Ken has pointed out,is that a match to the red in the FE ? Also, what sheen should the correct colour paint be ? Title: Re: FE Special front seat plastic trim pieces Post by: FE_UTE on July 12, 2021, 12:09:55 PM Rich I think I have some bits of the seat trim from an FE ...will let you know ...I can send over a small broken piece as it was from a low mile FE Standard
Title: Re: FE Special front seat plastic trim pieces Post by: RichFC on July 12, 2021, 01:06:13 PM That would be great FE_UTE, thank you very much.
I am more than happy to pay the postage cost should you find a suitable piece. Thanks very much.

Fall Red was an FE trim colour. I'm pretty sure I have some old bits and pieces in that colour. Just remember the colours do change a fair bit over time my Teal plastic bits certainly did. Where are you located? Cheers Graham Title: Re: FE Special front seat plastic trim pieces Post by: RichFC on July 14, 2021, 09:29:49 AM Graham, thanks very much,I'm in Sydney,Lewisham{work} Mortdale {home}
Rob, thank you for that, unfortunately with the current lockdown i'm unable to go to travel to where the car is located. Title: Re: FE Special front seat plastic trim pieces Post by: RichFC on July 14, 2021, 09:30:59 AM Not to worry Vern, I appreciate your time and effort in looking, thank you
