Lookin good Josh,

Big fan of the Cobalt Blue, and it looks to be in pretty good nick.

As for the chrome trim, they all have the same problem mate. The bumpers are an insert and almost impossible to get in any decent condition, and the sides are a chrome strip, but to my knowledge, nobody has come up with a suitable replacement of the stock trim. The ED wagon I have has an aftermarket chrome strip fitted to the side moulds from the previous owner, but they haven't stood the test of time. I was going to pull them all off today when I was detailing it as they are hanging off everywhere. Looks s**t :evil:

My NC side chrome is in a pretty bad way as well, sticks out like a sore thumb and really does make a good car look like crap :twisted:

Good luck and let me know if you come up with a good replacement. We'll all be waiting with baited breath :P

Cheers,
Mick
