rear ones slide forwards towards the door opening. Same way as the fronts except in reverse. They dont pull off, they slide mate.

How do you remove the 2.0l bit at front???

Want to remove all side strips to polish???

The badges unclip from the strips. Get your nail under the leading edge of the badge and prise it off. There is 1 clip at the shaped end of the badge and 2 clips at the square end.
