I think it was black, but I'm sure the older edges were chrome. That edge black was a newer addition. I stripped that black off a new one with a citrus stripper and bamboo skewers.

In the bag with bolts for the fender aprons we found two of these clips
Think this is the wrong place but really can’t remember where they were. And can’t find it on the before pics. Who can help?

Looks great Paul!
So exciting to be at this stage.
I hope that you are happy with the Paint work?
are they the same size as the ones that hold the windshield wiper wiring?

There’s three of those clips on the inside firewall that hold the main wire harness in place. One goes here circled in red, the other two are further up under the dash indicated by arrows:

It might go under the fender to hold the turn signal wire?? The ones that go on the firewall to hold the wiring harness are bigger.
this one shows location better, i think you just have it on the wrong side and probably needs to go closer to front of fender and apron

Yes very happy! This painter does respray Rolls Royces for a well known Rolls restorer just around the block (Brabo). He knows what he’s doing.

brake job coming
. Did all the cilinders about 8 years ago when we started this job. Drove it some time back then and took all apart and stored it. Didn’t cap it off 
It seems moisture was attracted by the brake fluid and caused corrosion. One wheel cylinder is leaking after we used the brakes a couple of times. Will do all the cylinders again.
