Grab hold and give them a pull, clips are strong iirc.

Do you have to disable the air bags first?

 

[James.f]

no, just pull them off

open glove box first tho

open glove box...start on side closest to the door and pull it from the bottom..

they come out horizontally though, so basicly pull them towards you

yeah when i did the bump strips, it took days for the primer to cure, then the paint then the laquer, but seeing as it was sooo hot yesterday , i managed to get it sanded, primed then after about an hour i colour coated it, then left till this morning

So reallyyyy, i shud take 3 days to do it, for the result to be good.
day 1 sand and primer
day 2 colour
day 3 laquer
