hot water mate, be careful not to bend them though as it will look crap

i bought a new set from seat, all 4 for about £22
that way u get them sprayed, then when they are ready rip the current ones off without having to worry about bending them and stick the new ones on. its much better tbh as the new ones come with new sticky adhesive pads!

How much did you pay to get side strips done? Is the silver a good match, i know silver can be tough to match.

you can remove the strips that go down the side of the car but as already said you cant remove the ones off the bumper.

sorry mate i was talking about the side strips..

i paid £40 mate, thats to have brand new ones sprayed and smoothed. the silver is a perfect match and makes i look 100000x better!!
