Nope, definitely different shape and length unfortunately.

A hand is always welcome! :D (and tbh, I am dreading trying to refit all the window trim on my own - it's all clips and in sections :? a small number of clips are broken and they are all no longer available :evil: )

Few more pics of some of the stuff I got done today.
Gave the back end a good clean up, all round/over. From this;

To this;

Yes, the 4 small round splodges of black underseal (2 each side) are from me. It's where the bumper bar rests against the back of the car and had caused the paint to break, so seemed a sensible way of protecting it going forward.
The other larger areas of underseal over-spray are nothing to do with me, they were already on the car, under the muck. No idea where they're from.

Also washed a load more jobby;

All the rear lights (incl. gaskets and top trim parts) and the door mouldings.
I also did the spare pair of lights that I have.

Started re-assembling the quarter panels etc but no pics.
