yes they have holes, get them color coded

[wanstall]

my'n are already colour coded, just though it would look nicer without them.

thanks again

sorry to bump, but how exactly do I remove them? I need to take one off the back bumper as it needs repairing, but how? clipped on? screwed on somehow?

the piece that curves around i mean, not the strips along side of car

thanks

Clips only, Very easy to remove using a Small Flat head driver or similar object.


Has any one taken the sides off, I've done both the front and back but never got round to the sides, Just wondering if its the same idea for the sides as for the back and front.

thanks, so I just go carefully at one end and start to prise? best to attack from 'short' end of curve along side of car, or the other longer end on the bumper?

don't want to snap it or something hehe

TBH i cant remember which end i started from. I never broke any clips though and im far from clever at these sort of things, so im sure you'll be just fine.

NP, if you get the chance to do the sides could you let me know how they come off.
Cheers
