Grey plastic trim - RogB - 25-11-2016 10:26am
Hi all,
does the grey plastic boot strip on a 2012 Pure, and the front/rear bumper inserts (3 piece around the towing eye covers) just clip straight off ? Also the chrome/silver strip on the door mouldings. ?
I know the front and rear tow eye covers just have a couple of screw clips and somehow unclip so apparently quick and easy.
Im looking at blacking out all the plastics on as low a budget as possible.
I have the option of a compete black grill and vent kit on Ebay, or getting it all sprayed at a local body shop.
But if it all pops off easily enough ill do it myself
any advice much appreciated
cheers
Rog

it is somehow bonded on. however it does pop off quite easily. i have done the same as your suggesting but it does have to be bonded back on
should have also said that side mouldings are clipped on so do come off easily. i bought a black grill as my mate reckoned the grill would be a pain to get a good finish

how about the side vents and bumper inserts ? are they bonded too?
im happy to drop it into a local body shop ive used before to do the boot trim and the bumper inserts if it involves bonding back,
the ebay shop selling the black pack stuff is offering a black gloss grill, dummy bonnet vents, and 2 piece side vents
I know the grill is easy to come off, ill get black lettering etc sorted myself
cheers for response Dang

the side vents are clipped on. they are easily painted as were the trims on the doors. powerful u.k. have a lot of videos on youtube about removing various bits off the evoque
