I have a white EF GLI, the black plastic exterior trim on the doors of the car is kinda coming off on 1 side but all good on the other.
My question is, should i remove it? Will it look better and have a cleaner look? Do i just do this with a hair dryer? Cheers, Conrad |

IMO, the E-series look quite plain without the door moulds. I reckon take them off, paint them white, then put them back on. I think a hair dryer should do the trick.

Is it possible to remove the black inserts in the bumpers for repainting too? How would they be removed?
Can the little black surround for the quarter panel indicators be removed as well? I might as well colour code everything while i'm at it. Thanks. |

I like them better on, but it's personal preference.. in the end, if heljas doesn't want them on.. it's his car, and it's for his enjoyment.
