I'm about to have a re-spray done, and the workshop has asked a number of questions which could make the difference between a great job and a bad one.

 

One of the key activities to a good job is to obviously remove as many bits and pieces as possible so here goes:

 

1. The black horizontal strips on the windows.

How easy are these to remove? Are there any special clips that hold them in place and is there a special technique to ensure that they do not snap?

Can the clips be re-used? If not, where could I get replacements from?

Also, can new strips be bought and how much?

 

2. Scuttles below the windscreen.

Is there an alternative to re-spraying them as mine are quite worn, i.e. can replacements be bought and how much are they likely to be?

 

Thanks.

replacement scuttle panels available brand new from zcentre. not overly cheap mind you and are infact a graphite colour

yes, these oem parts are still available new... mjp, zcentre and many others supply these

as for the window frims they seem to slide out i unclipped mine fidlling tehn regretted it faffing about for 10 minutes putting it back in. but im very tempted to pull them all off and coat them is black paint
