Cost's under £4 to return 2nd class recorded. Easily worth every penny. Remember to "spec slightly thicker" Plenty of second hand airbags available from breakers. I've used Douglas valley lot's of time with no problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edc Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Looks good but I would get the airbag part done too. The shinier airbag looks a little incongruous with the matte wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T24RES Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Not sure about that big word Ed used, but I agree the airbag would look great the same as the fab wheel ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerbelly Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 you could have the airbag part painted to match the wheel wont cost much some.body shops ,valaters trimmers ect have the interior paint systems with texturisers ect to perfectly match most interior finishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks fine, in the flesh. I've painted plastics before, with vinyl paint. Easy really, just need to prep properly. It seems to sink into the plastic, rather than sit on it, so you keep the patina.It doesn't chip either, you need celly to remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
