   What would be the best idea when removing the door strips??? i wanna remove them but underneath are they clipped on and it it painted underneath? and are they sitting in a groove? i wanna smooth flash look to the side when they are off so would i need to get he carbon fiber paste out and paint? plus i like that people no i have a VTR rather then a standard 1.1 or something

   pretty sure they are part of the VT arches too mate. So if you removed them
   you remove the arches too.
   
   I think they are painted underneath, not sure how they are fitted.

   Clips and glue hold them on
   
   Take off the rear inner panels and you'll see exactly how good french build quality is
   
   Will leave grooves after like Simos got but he's colour coded them and fitted audi arches
