why not leave it on and get it sprayed?

They have a habit of breaking the clips when you remove them and you can't just replace the clip because they're integral. You can buy a brand new set but they will chip again. Can you make do by touching it in with a pot of touch up and a fine brush?

Yer both good ideas , i might try touch them in but if they look crap i will try get it sprayed in situ

Just get Chipsaway to come and spray them. They did my door handles and mirriors. Think just over £100.

Took to spray place, and they were talking double the price and I had to remove them all. They went out of business years ago.

Its worth it, same again with bumper, spray place wanted £200 i think, as they would need to respray the whole thing. Chipsaway said they could just spray one half off bumper where it was scuffed and blend it in. And it was just over half the price.

These are a nightmare to remove, no way you will get them off without breaking them, they can be bought pre painted new for around £200 i ended up just replacing mine due to chips.
