   If you mean the black plastic rub strip, then yes and no. The black part will not seperate from the rest of teh panel/arch etc. If yu want to take the full panel off, they're just clipped on basically.

   Ah right. Yeah they peel off but heat them up first to melt the glue or it'll take your paint off, though I dont suppose it matters if the cars being resprayed anyway.
   Make sure you clean all the exess adhesive off too or the new paint will react

   saw a car in fast car i think it was. he had smoothed all his plastic trims on the door so there was no vtr/vts badge. anyone now how to do and how much that would cost?

   Do you mean the brown euro saxo? Not sure how they smoothed the badges out cos they matched it with the original plastic. You'd need to speak to the body shop about it.

   you mean chandlers cars??
   
   you moul have to use some fibreglass and use some tigerseal on the panels so they dont move about and crack, like said any good bodyshop will do it
