Good Luck with the car- Bob.

Thanks Bob,
I had a feeling that might be the case as I couldn't see how some clips would hold the chrome strip onto a broad rubber surface. I think you are probably right - which is a little bit of a pity because it would have been nice to have the 244 looking more or less original, but that being said the more modern seal looks smart as well. I suppose what I should do is offer up the chrome trim in case anyone needs it for a very original car.
I'm glad I asked the question - I have dozens of similar questions that aren't covered in the technical manual - that is the value of a web site like this.
I'm enjoying the 244 - both fixing it and driving it - the car steers like the Royal Barge, but is so cool that my Porsche Boxster has not been out of the garage since I bought it :-)
Best wishes,
Alan
