   If your wanting to take them off then you need to take off the below
   rear bumper
   front bumper
   driver & passenger lower quarter
   driver & passenger lower quarter/rear arch

   my cars sillver aswell mate was looking at doing them gloss black then having them laquered and that isit easy to avoid getting paint on the bodywork? or if im doing it black does the bumpers and quarters definately need to come off?

   It wouldn't make any difference if you took them off TBH if you had it professionally done im sure they would do it with the panels still on the car. The bumpstrips aren't a seperate part of the 'bodykit' they are part it.
