   I think they are part of the VT kit bud so you'll need to remove lower door panels and rear arches to get them painted. Might be easier to do them on the car?

   Yeah they are part of the kit, dont yank them off. Would prob be easier to mask off the door to do it rarther than take the car apart to spray a bit of plastic

   i do also believe they yank off aswell as they do on other cars!
   if this proves not to be the case
   masking tape all round and newspaper up to windows and downwards to cover spray area!
