Front and rear bumper inserts

[Gozza]

Tried searching for all sorts of keyworks so no nastyness if already posted please 

Do the insert type bits in the front and rear bumper come out ? As is the bits that are there to take the scrapes, damn hard to explain erm. Ah fook it piccy time.



And if so how ?

Thanks

Yeah they do come, technical name, rub strips, out of curiosity why are you taking them off.

yes they can be removed they just unclip and carefully pull slowly out

How do you unclip them, from behind the bumper i am guessing ?

[johnson6672]

Just wondered whether you was going the smooth route.

all i did was very carefully used a thin bladed screwdriver and cloth so as not to mark the paint and eased the corner out enough to get a hold and then just uclipped it a section at a time until it all popped out
