Title: Colour Coding Boot Plastic
Post by: davidhawkins_78 on 10 September 2004, 10:03

I'm being a lazy devil here ...? ;D

I'm gonna get colour coding a few more bits of my car and wanted to start with the plastic around the boot lock.

How easy is it to remove and can u remove it with having to fanny about with the lock mechanism ???

I know I could look in the haynes manual etc, but I'd rather have it straight from the horses mouth ! ( and no that's not some sorta euphemism ! )

think you can just take it off with out touching the lock. i seem to remember the lock being separate from the plastic suround!
