someone's nicked my trim!

Hello, I have a 1992 Rivage which is minus 2 bits of side trim.  They were there when I went to bed one night but unfortunately disappeared by the morning!  I have been told by my garage that the trim is no longer available to buy so I am looking for a couple of pieces.  the pieces I need are the door trim on the passenger side and the rear trim on the drivers side.  I would also like some advice about my seats.  My drivers seat cloth has gone into holes and I would like to get it recovered.  What are the chances of this being done in the same fabric or will I need to get all of the seats done to match?
thanks for any help/advice
Anna :)  :)

Hi and welcome to the site.

Best bet for the fabric is either put a thread in the wanted section for the same seats but better condition fabric and swap them.  If you want new fabric try www.newtoncomm.co.uk

For the side trim (black and chrome?) stick up a thread in the wanted section again.  These are normally in good condition or alternatively keep an eye on ebay but full sets can go for ?40+ quid.  Try this
If you manage to get hold of the trim it will be worth replacing all the clips around the car.  Don't get them from ebay though, your local dealer can get hold of them for a lot less.

There's nothing you can do to prevent the trim from being nicked - apart from glueing them on.  I've got a spare trim of one of the strips you're after but I'm keeping it incase the same thing happens to me.  Sorry

Good luck

Hi Anna,

Might be worth your while to ring up a few breakers yards- they can be useful for the later Mk1s ……I know of a reasonable one if you live in/near Suffolk.

Good luck with the search! :D

Cheers

Anna and Dougelove!

Went to my local(ish) breakers today and found 3 mk1s.  I've managed to get the chrome and black trim off one of the cabbies.  BUT, pesky passenger door trim missing again.  So let me know if you need them still.  They're in good nick.
