Angry '93 TX5 - Grey Bumper Stripe / Strip

Hi everyone

As the subject says, I have a '93 Ford TX5.

My problem / query is related to Telstars too.

Our cars has this grey strip on the front and rear bumpers. In later models I think they made it the same color as the body, but you can still see where the strip used to go.

Mine has started to peel. Either from age or some crap which I used to make it looking new again - NOT.

My question is, besides spraying it the same color as the rest of the car, what can I do to make it look stock standard again?

Any suggestions?

Question Re: '93 TX5 - Grey Bumper Stripe / Strip

Thank you for your reply.

I had a look at the site, thanks.

My problem is the strips are getting flaky and starting to peel, if that makes sense. Almost like it is chipping from scratches here and there.

How can I restore it anyone? Can one purchase new "strips", or can one use some custom made sticker, or what?

Hope this makes more sense...

Oh i though you meant it had started to peal off. In your case glue wont be any good. Sorry.
You might be able to get a replacement from a wrecker?
