Removing some 'mods'

Anyone successfully removed the tacky chrome mirror covers and/or the side rubbing stripes?

I'm guessing brute force on the former and dental floss behind the latter, both once warmed up with a hair drier?

Cheers! FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy

On the covers it'll depend what they are stuck on with - some have posted on here about the tape not working and using no nails - if it is tape you may get away with it (but there will be some time needed to make good the black plastic,

no nails, no telling .....

Bradders before you start removing them it might be worth downloading the installation instructions from the Land Rover GTR website just incase there is something there that shows that they aren't just held on with double sided sticky tape.............. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
