   I joke really mate. The clips are shit anyway. They have broken on my 1.1 and the doorcard has never been taken off. lol.
   
   You must be gentle with saxos They break themselves, you don't need to do it for them.
   
   The grommits must not be the right size mate and the clips you need are cheap as chips from citroen

   Just go in and ask for door card clips off a 2003 primera they will probably bring you a sheet with a few of the clips pick the one that looks the same.
   
   I believe they are expensive though, i ordered 10 at a quid each and they were the wrong ones the guy then gave me 8 of the correct ones!
   
   The clips from citroen are like 16p
   
   As for de pinning its easy you must have gone horribly wrong i done mine fine!! the 13mm gromit didnt fit too well at first but after a while warped into shape!

   Trim clips are like 12p each form citroen.
   
   I bought enough for both doorcards and the clips for the sideskirts and trim under the headlights for about £5.
