Dave Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 looking soooo clean mate! Have to say I love the alloys, look so right on it. The bump strips on the bumper are part of it, bumper and strips all moulded from one piece of plastic. You can mask up the bumper for painting the strips though, or you could wrap them in carbon effect vinyl or something similar. The strips on the doors can all be removed. The fogs/drls look sweet!

They can't be removed from the panels/bumpers, seem quite tricky to fix/freshen up. What fog lights/DRL are those? Are they seperate or one unit? Thanks dude, those are custom made, I used to have the big OEM foglights, but decided to sell them. Basically, what i did was get one of those plastic covers for the bumper from a scrapyard, drilled holes in them for the DRL/foglight unit (just got em from wish, they're not the best quality though. The inner foglights gave up. Still looking for better ones) ran some new wires to a button in the dash and wired the inner light up to the existing fog light harness.

Thank you! Can the ones one the doors just be pried off with a plastic tool or do they have screws on the inside?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 If I remember rightly they prise off from the outside with the trim tool (hopefully someone will be along to clarify this!). The clips are pretty fragile though so do remove carefully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Car's looking sweet buddy. Nice little set of mods. As @Dave says, I'm sure that the strips on the doors just prise off (carefully), but it's a long time since I did it. Might be worth applying a bit of heat to stop the plastic being too brittle? (thinking more hair dryer rather than heat gun) not sure if it'd make any difference as those clips will be pretty old. @Chandler might know? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
