Do the door strips just pull off? Any guidance / advive on removing the bits you took off?
Thanks

On the speaker covers theres a small slot use a flat screwdriver in there, careful not to press too hard and damage the door card.
On the door strips i found it best to start from the end towards the front of the door, theres more of it exposed there. Again i used a flat screwdriver, just use it carefully
Hope this helps.

It easy to break the clips? Mines getting flocked I think

I think you would struggle to break the clips. Start at the end towards the rear of the car, on the bottom side, and prise it out with a small flat screwdriver. Work your way along, you will be able to get your fingers under and just pull it off after the first couple. I think there is 5 or 6 clips.

Flocked?
I broke one of the clips on mine. It was rattling for some time. I put some foam behind it I think.
I got my tins from Halfords.
1x Halfords Brand Grey Primer
2x Halfords Brand "Vauxhall Star Silver" (Just happened to be a colour i used on previous car interior, you are not limited to this one.)
One tin of primer will do, and see how the coverage goes with the first tin of silver. I think there is a larger can availible than the ones i used, so one tin of colour could do.
I sanded the black plastic lightly, just to give it a key, then sprayed two coats of primer, 15 mins apart. Then left that for a day before spraying 3 coats of Silver. Dont make the coats to heavy, there is no need.
Hardest part is masking of the grills. I just spent an evening infront of the TV carefully tucking down the masking tape. And be carefull when pulling off the masking tape, you could lift the edge of the paint.
Doing the above, mine have remained scatched free, after what is now 9 months i think.
Good luck!

Or you could wrap them
I'll post new photos at a later time when I'll do them with a different brand of carbon fiber wrap. You could also use aluminum brushed look wrap.
