Your not surposed to use a hammer to remove it

The clips do go brittle and getting the washer jets out can be a faff! If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

WD - I am not usually ham fisted but I have been getting giddy and thinking of a number of subtle changes to the car without spending a load of cash...I put it down to excitement - that's cost me £17 at the LR dealer  Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

You'll be painting the side strakes soon!!

Here's mine half way thru>

Off and primed...due to my skillset I'll be going down the "one colour" route. Fancied silver but saw a Kahn so have always like the look of colour coding it and am thinking stornoway....unless anyone has any ideas. A contrast colour may look good, like a matt/satin grey ?

Prob going stornoway...silver badges maybe  Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

Craig did a nice job of his, hence me going down the 2 colour route, silver and black, looks very smart indeed

Hope you dont mine me using your picture Craig

Clearly not just a case of roughing the surface with a bit of wet/dry before repainting. Can some one break down the procedure for repainting plastic parts like this or the grill/ bonnet vent ?

Googsy...I am indeed...they're in the garage drying as we speak..24 hrs to go then I'll give then a light rub down with some 2000 wet n dry and a few coats of clear lacquer....they should then stick straight on to the moulded fins with some 3M padded tape. GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus

DaveK....most of the parts just need a good rub down, starting with a low grade sand paper to get the thick of the surface paint off, then smoothing with a finer grade(s)

once you've got it ready, give it a good clean wipe down with white spirit..let it dry then set your parts up in a clean dust free area and apply the primer ( colour specific is better eg grey for silver paint and either plastic or metal primer depending on base material you rubbed down)... Apply a few light coats with 20 drying time in between followed by a few light coats of colour with 20 mins drying in between

24 hrs after, gently rub down of the painted finish with W&D and then clean off the surface with a tack cloth...

Then apply several coats of clear lacquer and bobs your dads brother

....or if the parts availble from powerful uk...just buy it  GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus
