White striped tail lights scala

Post by Philcraig »

I have an 89 scala but the tail lights are normal.

I was after a set with the white stripes across them. They look so much better than normal ones

Does anyone have any for sale or know where I can buy them?

I’ve tried the usual places, vw heritage etc but no luck.

Any help appreciated. Thanks

most these days are worn or a stupid amount of money, might be best to get some vinyl pin striping and sticker new stripes on.

^^That, or if you are confident, an oil based thick nibbed white paint pen will do the job.

I used to buy a liquid mask when I made 1/24 model kits. It would prevent over painting. Otherwise measure the gap and see if there is any pinstriping or such that will fit.

3mm pinstriping works well.
Either pinstripe the raised ridges with preferred colour or pinstripe recesses & spray/tint raised areas of lenses after masking surrounding area. then remove pinstriping after spraying.
