   take then off ( if they come off i havnt looked tbh lol) if not mask em off.
   key then down with some wet and dry prob around 1200 grit.
   spray on some primer 2 coats will prob do it
   then go with the final colour
   laquer would probs be a good idea to give a nice finish. ive never used it so i dunno on the process

   thanks what would be the best bonding glue to appach the mirror caps to the mirrors because it doesnt have any clips to clip on?
   
   thanks

   I used no more nails the 1st time everytime it rained I got white powdery fluid running out,so took them of cleaned them off then used Superglue gel.I used the gel because it doesn`t run everywhere.Finally if you want the worst colour match their is then go to Halfrauds if not buy an aerosol from Citroen.
