Just take any piece, you want to get colour coded from your car.

Take a firm grip with 2 hands and give it a firm jacking pull.

Don't let go, until it gives in.

You will see, it comes right off.

Good luck.

Oh yeah, here are the emoticons that will make my message allright now.

Even the door mouldings? and the C pillar ? a good pull you sure !! what if something breaks?? ahhhhh Stephen Hughes

They shouldn't break but you will need new plugs. BTW don't colour code the pillars!!!!!! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

K11, don't just pull anything, ok?

The only parts i removed are:

-Side vents: by sticking a thin creditcard like piece of plastic between the lower aft part of the vent and the vender to click the latch.
There is an excellent link about this procedure with pictures on this forum.

-Grill: releasing the 2 clasps on top of the grill. Grill comes out like that.

-Lower tailgate trim with RANGE ROVER letters: Pull gently at one side. Trim comes off like that.

Good luck

Yep we did it everything except door handles
