E3 GTS Chrome Trim

[Tattooboy]

Any one know how, or have any decent links on how to remove these from the 4 doors and boot?

I've had a search but can't seem to find much in the way of helpful links

Any help much appreciated

Thanks

Can they just be removed, without the car looking as if something is missing? Why don't you have them wrapped matt black?

I've got some CF vinyl wrap coming to cover them and tie them in with the rest of the CF as I thought Matt Black wouldn't right?

If they can be removed without risk of damaging them, I was going to have them dipped instead.

With you now. It's removal to be replaced after coating, not removal to leave bare.

See how the vinyl looks, before potentially bending or breaking something.

Don't like chrome on cars, but also hate fake carbon, sticker bomb it then you can get in with the local halfords car park crew!

Sorry no offense meant, just my opinion, you have one awesome car just wouldn't want to see it look too chav, you can't have everyone like everything or the world would be boring

I'd go with the matt black suggestion made earlier. Get a wrap co to quote you - then you don't need to GAF how it comes off.

Well they do say opinions are like Clits !!

I don't think 5 thin strips of CF vinyl will be the end of the world, but as already mentioned, it will tie in with the other "REAL" CF touches the car has.

I'll do one, if it looks ste, I'll have a go with Matt Black.

Someone has done the opposite recently Fitting chrome wrap to their VE - around the windows. Can't find the thread however.

(Maybe a swap-ortunity there?)

Bits around the windows I would imagine just unclip lifting up boot just whip off the interior bit & you should be able to see what holds it
