My Wife has managed to scrape the chrome trim that is in the body moulding above the rear wheel arch of our 1989 4x4 Royal Lounge. How do I remove this trim in order to replace it? I don't want to force it in case I damage something else. And has anybody got a spare trim in mint condition that they could let me have?
Thanks. Bill.

The chrome strip is a slide in fit. The plastic trim is bolted from the inside and clips on the outside, you have to remove the interior trim to get at the nuts.

Thanks Clive. I have managed to remove the chrome strip
from the plastic trim. I contacted BBC Spares for the price of a new strip. Bill at BBC Spares said that he would have to get it from Japan at a cost of about £50.00. This price seems a bit steep. Does this seem right? He has got the compleat moulding compleat with chrome trim in stock but I don't want to buy a compleat moulding unless I have to because it is only the chrome trim that is damaged on my Townie. Does anybody know of any Townie in a scrap yard that still has its chrome body moulding trim?
