OEM 182 Cup/Trophy washer Blanks

Hi all recently bought number 19, it has body colour washer blanks and would like it back to original, just wondered if anyone had any knocking about? Thanks Steve

Just spray yours matt black

 

[Woozie]

Good idea are the original one's textured plastic like the other plastic parts or just painted smooth? As I can get some textured bumper paint to give it an original look.

 

[Mikeyjp]

yeah they are like the other black plastics, dimpled effect

I would first strip the paint to see if the original dimpled effect is still underneath.

Standard 172/182 Cup washer blanks are around £190 new from Renault.

I think I'll try striping them back first,would you use nitromors or would that be a bit harsh? £10 on some textured bumper paint seems more appealing than £165 for new ones!!

 

[Mossyv6]

Yes I would try nitromors.

i think you are wasting your time trying to strip them back, they would have been sanded down to make the paint bond to them

I thought the same but worth a try?

 

[Mikeyjp]

i would just leave them red lmao
