trim on body?

[mark_GSi]

is the larger trim that is on the sides of the car just peel off or is it on with pins through the body?

[DUNOVA.]

some are on pins some arn't it peels off and leaves to lines of foam that stick to the body :wink:

[mark_GSi]

is there are specific years that the pins apply to?

see a nice 1992 white 1 for sale but its got the larger trim on, if i buy it i want to take the trim off

[DUNOVA.]

Not to sure mate my e-reg sr and f-reg sr have'nt got pins Might be the newer models that have them

[Jack]

Mine didn't (mk2)

When you say larger trim what do you mean? I thought all mk2's had the same bit down the side, its just some had the vinyl as well?

[mark_GSi]

like the trim on Dunovas car ^^^^^^

like that but no vinyl on the bottom part of the door, just the trim

[Dpnova]

Mine didnt have pins

[DUNOVA.]

If your unsure mate just peel it back a bit and see it will be easy to stick back on,If it has got pins and you still want to remove it just use a bit of filler and a touch up pen :wink:

[dave.gsi]

as a rough guide if its squidy rubber type it is just stuck on.

if its hard plastic type theyre pinned on

I have a j reg 1992 1.2

Mine didn't have any pins, and if u do it carefully, lots of hot soapy water and maybe a hair dryer they come off nicely withut the paint.

Then to get rid of the residue get some "3G Sticker Remover" and a coarse cloth, not a rough cloth but like a swab, rather than smooth silk :-/

I'd left all that shite down the sides for months wondering how to get it off, the 3G stuff is better than meths and doesn't affect your paint work, litterly just rubs off with a coarse clothe. 10 minute job !

be careful u dont rip ur paint off with the trim cos i did but i wasnt arsed cos a respray was needed way b4 that happend :lol:

[robb]

Erm...

Why don't you take the door panelling off and see if there are any pins sticking through!

If there are then there will be pins! doh!

If not rip away!

If it's any help I have a j reg SR MK2 and there weren't any pins in that.
