They just pull of don't they? IIRC they are only held on by little clip/tab things

The clips that gold them on are pretty sturdy, Think i had my bumper off whilst i did mine. Makes the whole job easier-ish..

Didnt do the back, Settled for a sport rear.

oh feck! im not taking them off!

Just give it a bit of force... Be reet. flat head screwdriver wrapped in sellotape works (I think )

gawd! sound horrible! Im unsure wether to spray them though, thinking of making it a 172 rep ... ?

Also, how do the door handles come off please!?

Door card off jobbie dawn... I'll tell you what. While you are detailing my car i will strip down your clio lol

Yeah get your muscles going haha... screwdriver in front insert gap, (wrap the screwdriver) and prise gently, I think i did it with the bumper on but i cant be sure... Once you have the first clips undone with force you can use your fingers to pop out the rest... It explains itself.

As said for handles, Door cards off, Easy enough job... This also explains itself after the door card is off.

Front sport bumper and wings where too much effort for me to source and paint, I gave up, I colour coded the front, RS Grille, Found a rear sport bumper in the right colour... Love the way it looks now bar it actually being a sport.

^ That looks spot on mate. I think I'll colour code the rest & fit the cheaper bits at the mo then I can always add the rs body parts at a later date. I suppose its just a case of being in the right place at the right time for a bargain (i never get a bargain )

If any one see's a nicely priced 172 body kit or bumpers etc give me a shout please! cheers
