Removing body coloured side trim from a van, advice please?
Evening All
Have removed a shed load of grey plastic finish trims from vans but will need to remove the side trims from a 63 plate Vivaro next week and they are colour coded, does anyone know if they are clipped on like grey type or fixed with tape? just trying to gauge how tricky it will be?

lol, aren’t you supposed to be sunbathing! Cheers mate, suspected would be same but thought I better check, full wrap including roof coming up next week, :thumbsup: out of interest I take it you wrapped the side trims on that job, how difficult did you find them?

was a while ago now for this one and as you see its in chrome red, so does not conform as well as a regular solid colour would but was pretty easy. i think two of the side parts "at one end" Will fold in on itself but in doing so requires a corner or two to be slit to allow the fold to be made all the way. yes you could stretch over this corner but if its a print it will whiten, if it was me with the red chrome, that too would show stress marks/whitening on the vinyl. so the half inch slit which is completely hidden when side slit doors are closed was of no issue at all.
I am just back my holiday, so now catching up. actually bored after 2 weeks off work. longest break i have had a in a long time too. 😆

The clips will probably break so get some from ebay in advance.

Thanks Jon
We have stock of the clips from previous non colour coded removals, assume they are the same!
