having never actully removed these ...how do they come off?? and they have never been off before so any clips that may have been broke/lost on other cars will still be on mine

have to take them off to get the damage painted

if you look from underneath you will see wee lugs once you see them it will come clear what you do with them then you can slide it off as rich said it may take some pulling to get it started then the other part is bolted with 100000's of plastic nuts, think the guy who designed them must have had a brother that supplied the nuts lol

Screw driver into the rectangular slots at the back of the plastic stip and then just pop them off all the way along
