Dynamic owners (not 172 owners).

[gritter99]

I am getting my car all fully colour coded and the boot smoothed.I can get it done a lot cheaper if i can get the plastic bits off the car myself.I can get the spoiler off and the mirrors. Ha sanyone done this, do the plastic strips on the bumpers come off????? and how do go about getting the side strips on the doors and the door handles off???????

Help needed please

They must do, i presume the side strips are just connected to the bodywork with a few plugs so a bit of screwdriver and yanking action should do it. You can be the guinea pig!! Its best to ask a mechanic at your dealer though

How do you get the spoiler off?

 

[Tom]

torx t25 screws when you open the boot 4 of em

 

[gritter99]

I, its just a couple of screws.

Im off work the marra. so ill see what i can and cannot get off.

Has no one actualy tried this yet????or had their car c-coded

 

[RobFenn]

Yeah check the gallery, theres a platinum one which is colour coded, i think tomclio might know him

[Oakley]

The side strips are easy just slide off. the bumpers are real Bas**rds

 

[gritter99]

Sorry Mr KDF,

Please solve my problems??????

 

[gritter99]

Tomclio.

Did the whole bumpers have to be taken off , or just the plastic striops????

 

[ClioJohn]

thats gonna look well mint, i think ill get the boot smoothed as my last thing i ever do.

 

[gritter99]

Clio john,

Have you got yours colour coded yet

 

[Tom]

its not my car and i dont know nik i just hosted the pics

 

[RobFenn]

I dont see the point in getting the bumpers done, theyll only get stone chips!

 

[Fred@BTM]

Mines been done, the sides slide off, but to get a half decent colour match i would sugest you get the bumpers colour coded with the plastic bits still on

 

[Matt - Leics]

Just came in to read what I wasnt supposed to

 

[Fred@BTM]

Ive told you before Matt, leave me alone, the motel was just one night with a random welsh bloke ok!!!!

And th erest of the car paint work on the bumper is immune to stone chips then? The 172s or colour coded and I have no stone chips except on the bonnet! Get it done it looks smart!

woudlnt worry about colour match. Not as if renault managed to paint mine all one go the 1st time, or second................

 

[ClioJohn]

yeah ive had mine colour coded. although im getting it redone, because i think the spoiler and rear bumper are a poor match

 

[RobFenn]

How much did it cost you first time round?
