Colour Coding Boot Plastic
« 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 ! )
