Can we re-create a missing piece of SKODA YETI trim that's UNAVAILABLE!?

- Our Skoda Yeti Urban lost its rear driver's side arch trim and turns out its completely unavailable! Skoda don't have it in stock anymore, no third part stocks the arch trims and all the ones on ebay are crap knock offs. We have no choice but to try and fabricate one ourselves. Lewis is going to use his sills to reverse and cope the other side in aluminium sheet.

I was amazed at how good that wound up looking.
"Let's just check to see if this fits...." *fits perfectly*
Artistry 👌
Skill + patience = quality.
Nice one.
I can tell the difference from a mile off, Lewis's work is so much better than that plastic trim.
So in conclusion,,,,,,,,, absolutely fantastic work.👍👍
Great bit of fabrication. Channel going from strength to strength.😊
Thank you Mike! 10k here we come!
You make these sort of things look easy Great viewing awesome finished item
Fabulous fabrication Lewis, ❤
Very skillful. Great job. I just hope you don't find the missing part as you drive along the same road. 😁
It is clear that a professional is working here.
That is "more than okay", it really is!
Unuptainium…. What good word! New channel for me, look forward to more!
A cup of coffee, one (metric) pound of strawberries, sun on my (alpine white) legs and 21 minutes video footage: my perfect afternoon… Good job, Lewis!
"It's ok" it's brilliant 🤩 much better than ok, well done 👍
That was really well crafted.
Nice bit of metal work.
Hi Guy's Another (master class). In the art of Fabrication. Cheers. ps. Louisa is growing fast. See you in the next one. 👍👍
Wow - great craftsmanship! I was sceptical at first how you would get it to look right against the plastic, but that was great - lovely fabrication, and with the right finishing it looks spot-on!
lovely work there
Very good work and must say loving the channel keep the good work up
Awesome job
We lost the same part about 4 weeks ago. Discovered, as you have, they are not available. I got lucky and spotted an Urban in a breakers (at the opposite end of the country) and bought a door for £190 delivered. Unfortunately the door wasn't the same colour as our car, but you can't win them all!
I looked into 3D, but didn't get much encouragement, and suspect it would not be cheap if you can find somewhere with a large enough machine to print one.
Your fabrication is really good. Maybe a texture paint would help it blend in with the plastic.
You got very lucky to find one in a breakers yard. Lost count of the number of places we contacted! We did paint it in textured spray, it's a really good match and you wouldn't really notice unless you pointed it out 😁
Excellent work! That was brilliant 🤩
Fantastic job Lewis! I think the problem is going to be that if these trim pieces are totally unobtanium, and are obviously not stuck on that well from the factory, then the scroats are going to start pinching them. As someone has suggested, there has to be a market for manufacturing replacements. As long as you had a good original set, they would be pretty easy to reproduce in fibreglass.
Class work. Fair play. Great content too.
Impressive work.
Didn't know you could substitute Aluminium for Unobtainium. 😀 Nice job.
That's how it's done 🙌
Now that's a job well done good effort
A Wonderful piece of work. Thanks.
Thank you Lawrence!
Fantastic and amazing work, very, very clever ❤xx
Thank you! 😊
Great job guys.. It's coming to something these days when you have to make metal look like plastic !😂😂
Amazing replication / fabrication, beautifully crafted and finished off. Maybe you should have kept the templates. Made a few limited edition sets. Just a thought. Someone, somewhere must be looking for replacements.
Great job , are we on course for Monica's wheels video?
love the make do and mend, great job guys cars complete now! trims missing makes a car look uncared for! and not to forget sometimes these parts can be expensive, Ive just had a quote forr my C3 Picasso spare key from Citroen £275 for plip key and cut then £74 on top for programming? and NO im not paying that for a key!...anyways guys great video on using common sense!
That's seriously impressive stuff! Did the plastics get a freshen up in the end?
I'm thinking of getting a Yeti at some point. They're like the Swiss army knife of cars.
Thats impressive i know where to come
I've said it before. Panel beating and spraying is "witchcraft". You are a master of your trade.
To be honest, Lewis is his happiest when he's fabricating something 😁
@@WhitelandRestorations Oh goody, could he do my tax returns? 🤣
I have concerns about the temperature profile for your araldyte rapid - will it not be one compromised below freezing?
I bought our car with damage to the front bumper and I purchased a tin of HD Body Pro F222 Bumpersoft Elastic Filler. I’ve yet to do the job but I have tested it on a repair to my 25-30 year old Flymo 🤣 it dries Black but after sanding it goes grey. Where did you get the black textured paint from as I can’t find it for sale only info on the website not for purchase.
It didn't look like you were using high enough temperature to fully anneal the Aluminium. Use Black or Blue Sharpie marker and heat until the colour fades.
Feel free to immigrate to Tasmania, Australia. I’ve got a 128 3P and an X1/9 that would benefit from your skills.
The way forward these days is 3D scan and get it printed.
True but the tech has to be a lot cheaper, higher quality and bigger for us to use here in the workshop. Our laser cnc on the other hand is fantastic!
@@WhitelandRestorations need to get on the cad and you could prob break that into 2 parts ;)
Nice fabbing, but could you not gave got it 3D printed?
Could have done.... Our 3d printer isn't that time effective and we don't really like the finish. We'd need one of those super expensive ones and when it gets to that point it's cheaper and easier to fab it really
Good old Jenny,😂❤
Jenny from the block 😂
Now we know why it's called the Yeti. Due to the spare parts availability being abominable 😆
I still hate clever people! 😆😍
Who the hell invented glue on trim? Can anyone remember the first car to have it?
it's a work of arch lol
Brilliant 😂
Fantastic bit of fabrication. This video made me realise how much I miss my old Yeti Greenline. 👏👍
Yetis are fantastic cars. There's not much you can't do with one of them!
