scooby parts ? where else but scoobynet
Been on a few trackdays organised by SIDC, and there are a few meets around this area now and then as we've got some of the best roads in the country, keep your eye out on the midlands board as they have well organised camping trips to Wales

I cnat believe I drove round for 18months with orange wedges on . Primer, maded up spray can, laquer and mask from Halfords and job done. They dont really enhance the look just mean the front looks smarter and cleaner.

These are the tips I followed when I did mine.

http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...ThreadID=98379

I got all the stuff from Halfords :

1) Plastic Primer
2) Made up paint, you need the paint code (see thread above)
3) Clear Laquer
4) Face mask and always spray outside, try not to breathe in vapours

Talk to the guys in Halfords and tell them what you are attempting to do and take the wedges in. I got some got advice of a guy in my local Halfords.
