you dont need to put any trim on the edge as its a factory edge not a rusty 1, also you had better get the welder put where you have cut that edge away, as you have removed half the spot welds

If it was factory welds I would agree but I've replaced boot floor, valance and hinge panel ...... Don't worry it's more than capable of not having that 15mm extra lip....:0).... I've seamed welded the whole length of the rear inside....as well as spot welding the lip near the body aswell

I'm not sure if the trim on the britax one is the delux trim or a piece off stainless

I think it'll look much better when the car is painted. Chrome always looks tacky on an unfinished car.

 

Get some pics up when it's finished!
