I have wanted black window surround for a wile, but have thought it was too expensive...

Then I found THIS topic on German Speedsterforum.

http://www.edel-car-parts.de/ sells a plastic film kit (3 pice kit) for 19€ and fitting is realy easy

I orderd two kits just in case i mess up the first one. I got it in less than a week after my order.

Here´s the result on my car:

I like it. Now I just need a German friend to help me round the site :-) Nice n/a by the way ;-) Mine will look the same once I've got the spoilers on :-)

[SteveH]

Looks great, trying to order one now

[iandhd]

Me too.

Hochleistungsklebefolie angepasst geschnitten.
Waschstraßenfest.

Das Set besteht aus drei Teilen (zwei Teile für die Seitenholme und ein Teil für den oberen Teil des Rahmens).
Der gesamte Rahmen wird durch die Folie abgedeckt - es ist nach dem Anbringen kein silber mehr zu erkennen.

Eine ausführliche Klebeanleitung liegt bei, die Folie wird nass verklebt. Die Verklebung ist auch vom Laien durchführbar.

Die Folie ist jederzeit ohne Rückstände wieder ablösbar.

Lieferbar in den Farben:
- schwarz matt
- nach Anfrage auch in anderen Farben

(Very) Roughly translated

High speed adhesive film adapted cut. Wash road celebration. The set consists of three parts (two parts for the seitenholme and a part for the top of the framework). The entire framework is covered by the foil - no more silver is to be recognized after the attachment. A detailed sticking guidance is attached, those to foil is wet stuck together. The gluing is feasible also by the layman. The foil is at any time removable without arrears again. Available in the colors: - black matt - after inquiry also in other colors

skogshuggarn - From your photo I can just about see the join between the sections. Would you say it's OK "in the flesh"?

[speedyK]

Slightly better translation!

Pre-cut to fit, high performance adhesive film. Carwash safe.

The set consists of three parts (two parts for the sidestruts and one part for the top of the frame).

The entire framework is covered by the foil - no silver can be seen after application.

Detailed sticking instructions are enclosed, the foil is applied wet. Adhesion can be carried out by the layman.

The foil can be removed at any time without leaving any traces.

Available in the colours:
– matt black
– other colours on request

There is a smal overlap, but I think it´s OK The size of overlap you can deside when put it on (a stock Honda S2000 has also a overlap). The three parts is very big so you have to cut them when fixed. I used a haidryer to get all the water (vatten + diskmedel) off and the glue to fix. For 19€ (+8€ shipping) this is the best and cheapest mod I have done to my Speedster It took me less than 1 h to get it on the car. You will get a werry good instruktion with the kit, but it is in German

Im trying to order too i wish i understood german I dont think i have suceeded Andy

[iandhd]

OK here's the deal. For those of us in the UK this might be a problem since he only accepts direct bank transfer. The site is not set up for Paypal or credit cards and to transfer money abroad requires a SWIFT transfer which costs £20 (from my bank anyway) That brings it up to £40 with VAT & International delivery which means it's cheaper to bust your screen and claim on the insurance Anyway I'm far too honest for that malarky so I've asked him to do us a group buy deal. I'll keep you posted.

[earlystock]

I will take one if the group buy works out

[too-fast]

And me please Andy

[iandhd]

I will take one if the group buy works out

Well even if it doesn't I'll see if can get the money to him some other way and then have one shipment to the UK and I'll ship from here centrally. Once I know more I'll start a list off

[plotloss]

I'm in for any group buy/single payment malarky

[SteveH]

I'm in for any group buy/single payment malarky

Me too

[nakajima]

i'm in on the group thang

[Browncanoe]

Im up for that Browncanoe.

[nonterraquous]

Oh go on then

[PeteB]

me too please

[iandhd]

OK we have a group buy on our hands He will waive the postage from Germany which is €8 a pop for starters. As for the payment unless I can figure something else out that will be £20 split however many ways (so far 9). What I propose is payment to me via BACS, cheque or Paypal (once I've figured the final price - I believe it's €27 each but I'll need to ask the bank what the exchange will be) Once I get final numbers of interest I'll set a dealine for payment and then I'll send one order to the friendly German at MS-Edel. So far... iandhd earlystock too-fast plotloss SteveH nakajima Browncanoe nonterraquous PeteB

[skogshuggarn]

With this intrest in this I should almost mail him and ask him to send me one for free Does it realy cost 20£ to send money to another EU country from UK??? (The only fee I payed from Sweden was 0.7£=10:- sek to my bank and 7£=100:- sek in fee to the german bank) Good luck with the group buy thing
