You're obviously not as ham-fisted as I am, Andy..!
I wouldn't normally be a fan of butchering the lines/design of the car. And, I suppose one gets a little handier at it each time.
It's been frustrating taking all the trim off the car and finding out that most of the clips are one-time fitment only (flimsy and awkward into the bargain, as well). Simple screws and bolts and re-usable push-fit clips are a blessing - it's a real pity car manufacturers don't employ them more..
Maybe I just need a slightly older, more simple car.. like meself
Cheers,
Karl.
