Have a MY00 Wagon.
Has anyone taken the protection strips off the doors,if so,are they just stuck on??,and how did you remove them??.
Dont fancy re-spraying the doors.
Think the Wagons look much better without them.

All advise appreciated!!!

Dave

 

Don't remove them!

I paid £50 for mine and believe me it has saved me so many dents!

 

Good advise Akshay,
I know Im asking for some dozy Twonk to open thier door on mine and put a nice Dink in the door,but I just fancy a change to the Look of the car!!

 

I put them on mine, I was fed up with calling dentwizard out every few weeks, believe me they may not be that nice looking but they will stop you involuntarily altaring the look of your car if you see what I mean

 

Where is the best place to buy them - I have a growing collection of "dings" and the side of my car. I have now got a nice wavy patteren down the sides

any Subaru dealership ask for 'side impact protection strips'

 

Sounds posh "Side Impact Protection Strips"

I'll go in and ask for "Those plasticy black side thingy's to stop me doors being dubiyed by donkeys!"

lol

How much? - akshay said £50 - Is this about right from a dealer?

 

give us a bell b4 you pop round and ill warm the angle grinder up

 

Yep, cost £50 from a dealer. You can go the cheap route and buy some Mondeo ones as the lengths are the same...

One word though - when you apply them, make sure you use a heat gun to warm the metal before sticking them on - it takes time, but it's worth it.

I have never had any dents since putting them on.

 

Cheers - I will be investing in some very soon

 

I take it you all think its a bad idea then.

 

It's so gutting to see those dents in the side of your car mate.
It does not matter how far away from any other car you park - some old git in a very tatty escort always parks 2 inches from you car and smacks his door into the side of your pride and joy. Realising that he cant get out of his car he moves slightly further away and again smacks your car as he tries to get out and squeezes himself through the gap pushing his door into the side of your car as hard as he can and then just as he walks away he looks back and shakes his head in wonder of the fact that your car was there when quite clearly in his world it should not have been!!!!!! - Sorry, got carried away there.

No, leave em on

 

ANYONE KNOW THE COST of protection strips on a 03 wrx blue
