Trim
So I'm a little confused done lots of searches but haven't really come up with what I was looking for.
I'm wondering what trim people have used when coming to fit body panels.
For example on the bottom of the side panels to fill the panel gap am I ok with 25*3mm self adhesive foam strip?
What trim is used on the scuttle/bonnet/nosecone top of side panels?
Also how have people fitted there dashes to the scuttle I have a new style mk dash any trim or just riveted?
Cheers toby

Better to use a solid material, soch as plastic strip or offcuts of the MK inner trim panels. You only need small pieces at each rivet so they can
pull up tight without distorting the panel
What trim is used on the scuttle/bonnet/nosecone top of side panels?
Nothing under the scuttle, thin adhesive foam under the nose and bonnet where they sit on top of the side panels
Also how have people fitted there dashes to the scuttle I have a new style mk dash any trim or just riveted?
Not sure what the new dash looks like, so cant comment on the trim, but would be inclined to make it detachable with screws tarther than
rivets?
