Removing chrome side strakes

[Pentoman]

This might sound like an odd question but... how do you remove the chrome side strakes from the front wings? Can these be removed or are they bonded in somehow? What happens when you spray the car, presumably they can be removed? I have seen cars where the side strakes are sprayed body colour and wonder why.

They bolt on, some behind the wing splash panel and one from inside the door close area.

Takes a dealer about an hour.

3 nuts/fixings from inside wheel arch, 1 on the back of the wing with the door open, this one is fiddly and might be worth protecting the door and wing edge with masking tape before undoing it.

Maverick might try taking the wings off first.

Yes, but...the wings are not glued on, they are bolted so as to be replaceable for the inevitable accident damage.
