Default orange reflector on bugeye. how does it come off? and what to replace it with? carbon

as above

how does it come off? is it screwed in? ive tried prising it with a screwdriver and it seems to bend but not come off

dont wanna knacker it..

also bought some real carbon side markers, turns out to be, stick on ones

anyone got pics of these fitted?

got a feeling they will look tacky?

really wanted something similar to what was on there, just not as dated looking.

how about a vent? not to keen on the sticker

pics?

cheers

they have a clip thing behind them, really easy to get off once you figure out how to do it.

get flat kitchen knife or an old credit card or something (needs to be thin and flat) and slide it under the reflector from the bottom. clip is normally quite stiff but if you push up they will pop off. just be careful not to scratch the paint if you use something sharp!

is you bug wr blue? got a spare colour coded set for sale if you have

Carbon ones look o.k. on mine (black), and a pal has some on his blue bug-eye WRX, so it's a yes.

Just push it upwards and lift from the bottom - they come off really easy mate!

I sanded mine down and colourcoded them, they look a thousand times better.
