Yeah they do tend to get out of shape when removing them.....

[scharatz]

Still interested :)

[Tidzy]

[scharatz]

Everything is the same except the rear bumper

i know that ....you want the red strip you mean?

[scharatz]

i know that ....you want the red strip you mean?

Yes :Cool2:

[scharatz]

I think I've found some for the doors now. If that chap manages to get them off ok, will post an update tomorrow or Tuesday

[scharatz]

Still looking


The chap couldn't get them off without bending them.


If anyone's gonna try, here is his advice: (hope he doesn't mine me quoting)

I reckon a wide plastic scraper/spatula thing, and preferably some heat to soften the glue. Definately not a screwdriver and no heat.... I'd also work from the top down, or bottom up, rather than from one edge to the other...

[CavHopper]

Best way is to use some wire, welding wire if poss, and "cheese wire" them off. Works a treat.

There you go people, you've heard it :D

And if you want the red 'piping' that goes in the bumper, Vx main dealers sell it for not a lot of dosh iirc..... nice and spangly new and clean (and unstretched).

Would that be the same as the one that runs down the sides then? i.e. on the doors

[Evil]

Not sure, but if I had to guess I'd say no....

I woulda thought the door strips were one piece. The only reason I know about the bumper piping stuff is because I replaced it all in my old facelift Cav.

[scharatz]

OK, thanks. I'll give them a call and see what they say :Cool2:

ive got a set on a M reg sri if you want to come and take them off

[scharatz]

To be honest, I've never done that and I wouldn't dare trying it in case I bend them (and it's very easy to do just that apprently). You wouldn't know how to get them off by some chance, would you?

[scharatz]

Fancy trying this

[Trish]

You are welcome to, the car is being scrapped next week!

[scharatz]

Knowing my clumsy hands, I'd probably bend it.

Thanks anyway though

[89mk3sri]

got some that i took off my prefacelift sri, just the doors though, anygood?

[scharatz]

Hi Chris
Are they straight (i.e. not bent)?
Yeah, the doors and the small bits on the front wings will do, whatever you've got.
Let me know
Cheers :Cool2:

sorry mate, they dont look too bad, but i would'nt say there 100% straight tbh! might be ok with a bit of heat on them when you stick em on?warm them up gently and they kinda straighten up as they cool. can have em if you wanna try it?

[Mark T]

if you don't care about the door, a fine blade putty knife/scraper is the best tool.

you scratch the paintwork, though which is fine at a scrappy.

the old ones, just peel them off, like a banana and bin them.

Have you got a photo Chris? I'd like to see how bent are they.
