My interior is red, so the vinyl over the blocks is most likely red.  When I restored the car I matched what was there originally.

The blocks are covered with a thin black vinyl material – the same stuff that is on the spare tire hold down blocks in the boot.

>> Hello,
>>  
>> I need help with another piece missing from my barn find. There is a wooden block that goes under these trim pieces on a BT7. From pictures on the internet the blocks looks to be about 2" square. Is there a hole through the block for a self taping screw that goes though the block, through the quarter panel horizontal metal bracket and into the wheel arch? Are the three holes in aluminum trim piece just to secure it and none of them go through to the wheel arch? What are the dimensions of the wooden block and how it is installed?
