MK1 Bump Strips

[Vandella]

Hey chaps,

Just wondered how these come off.. slide or pop.. I see the ones one the doors have screws.. do the door ones slide backwards and the rear ones forward ?

what's the process with as little damage made possible please?

I realise I may have to get new clips in case.. anyone remember the part number or have a linky for these?

[pvsmark]

Open the front door and slide the door ones off towards the back but remove the screw first, rears is the same but pull them forward and theirs no screw. I couldnt get any clips from renault but you can get them on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-Tr...item5d3b35729d

This is for a willy 2 though so not sure how different a 1 is

Handy this topic as ive noticed how mine are looking quite faded

[Coops]

my phase 1's strips tend to just fall off of their own accord :( lol!

I had a spare set of valver ones.. sprayed them and they have come out great, and match the bits on my bumper now!! yay for colour matching/co-ordination

Then how its turned out below (photobucket link), i've done the bumper strips front and back, the side bump strips (yet to fit) and the scuttle with this stuff.. the hockey sticks will be next...
its kind of inbetween matt n satin finish..

I aslo did the black grill on the bonnet, which has a satin finish, as do the windscreen wipers.. just normal black satin from Halfords (http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...5505)..£40-£50 in total with a couple of coats etc..
