Default MGZT rear window trim.

Good morning,on the basis if you don't ask you wont get-has anyone found a source of the black window trim on the rear window? I am prepared to continue to "pick off" the black material and end up with a chrome finish but would prefer the original finish, and its a bit laborious! Thanks. Chris.S.

If you find a supplier let me know, I could do with one as well, I don’t want to pay Rimmer Brothers prices though!

Rimmer only have the RH side and £50+ Strange because its the LH side on my MG which is much worse? Its a puzzle. I better keep picking. Chris.S.

I prefer the chrome look - just don't like half and half! Any thoughts on the best way to remove paint from the sill trims - mine are starting to peel after 16 years!

if you remove the trim, more than likely you will need to source some clips to reattach it.
Top and bottom "1/2 to 2/3" are the same, bottom corners are different and I cant recall the sides

Just fit 75 sill trims it’s much easier.
