Don’t think so. Or not easily. I could take the whole thing off I suppose.

Currently waiting for the delivery of a rotary polishing disc with pads and compound. I’ll give it a try and see if I can get them to come up ok. If that doesn’t work I’ll be giving up! Gone: 10MY L320 RR Sport HSE, Ipanema Sand

the side step trim don't pop off it is riveted on so would have to be a hand job or just pop the step off
the front bracket on my driver side step has corroded I took front passenger side off and got local fabrication place to make me a new bracket

Doesn't look bad at all underneath.
From memory, they are rivetted to the steps, at least at the front and rear, I'm not sure how they are fixed along the length so I'm not sure how easy it would be to remove and refit them.

Yes I think that’s right. My plan at the moment is to use the machine polisher with compound to try and get an acceptable standard of finish to the strips. Appreciate that the car is 13 years old so it obviously doesn’t need to look new. I would prefer not to have to pay for a new set of steps if I can possibly avoid it. The weather tomorrow looks a fair bit better so all being well, I intend to make a start on this and would hope to have a result by the end of the weekend. I’ll post some more pics when I have some useful progress to report. Gone: 10MY L320 RR Sport HSE, Ipanema Sand

The actual trim part is quite easy to remove as they are only held on by about 8-10 alloy pop rivets which are easy to chop off, the trims quite often fall off on their own due to corrosion of the rivets. When re-riveting use stainless steel rivets.

thanks. If it gets to that stage I'll probably go for new ones. Or get rid. Gone: 10MY L320 RR Sport HSE, Ipanema Sand

I re attached my trim back on when it popped off just new set of rivets and some g clamps plus a bit of sticks like and job was done ✔️

Well, I've now spent some more time and elbow grease on these finishers, I'm not impressed TBH, RH one has polished up but has pitting, LH one won't polish to a shine at all. RH one and LH one seem to be different, presumably one was replaced some time in the past.

Thnk I'll add these to my 'replace when I've got some cash' list. Gone: 10MY L320 RR Sport HSE, Ipanema Sand

I have same on mine one side is more dull than other RH side is more dull I presume living in the UK it more prone to pitting and dirt from passing cars

Might be that of course, yes. I think I might paint these strips. They look pretty crap as they are. Gone: 10MY L320 RR Sport HSE, Ipanema Sand

You get at the old rivets from underneath the step.

Thanks Col,
I’ve ordered a rivet gun so I can make the repair.

Will try to clean them up once I’ve done the fix. 2010 HSE TdV8 in Stornoway Grey.
