If its the same material as a Leon.. heat it up and peel it off.. then get some tar remover on the gluey shite it leaves

is it pained underneath? ive always wondered this!

 

[Mike R]

Yep

 

[truss]

Cool, nice one.
sorry OP if im cluttering!

 

[damon6uk]

Haha it's ok and I'll give it a go now thanks

its obvious when you look, there are 3 plastic rivets, you need to break them off then they just pull off dead easy. I ruined mine though when i took them off, loads of marks round where the rivets were. I just had a new pair sprayed up then swapped them over

Got them now I want them gloss black is it ok to just primer it and then spray

I really want to take mine off and get them carbon skinned.

 

[damon6uk]

I've never seen them carbon wrapped, if you get them done post a pic please

 

[L5FLD]

I think it would look cool.

Skinning is way more expensive that wrapping though!

If I decide to go through with it (very unlikely as buying new wheels soon ha ha), i'll keep you posted

I love the diffence on mine only gloss black but was a easy mod and big improvement


Before

After

Looks very nice! Did you sand them down before primering/spraying?

 

[damon6uk]

It just gloss black vinyl

Was gonna spray them but just had enough to vinyl them

 

[Jordanwaterhous]

Ahh makes sense, good job! I shall be doing this too in the not so distant future!

 

[damon6uk]

Ha ha thanks and go for it quick and easy

 

[Scott-o]

How did you secure them back on?

 

[damon6uk]

Hope fully if the tip dint snap just put it through the panel and clip it all back into place
It all seems sturdy

 

[Jordanwaterhous]

Sorry if this comes across as a dim question, but you literally heated them up and pulled them off? Nothing more? I just don't want to go doing something stupid because i misunderstood it!

 

[damon6uk]

No but I many could help once you take the clips out but I did this guide on another post


There is three of these circle things

Find a way to clip them off I have a bent flatblade screw driver so It was a little easy.

But unclip them I can guarantee to 1 of the 3 will break a little because mine did on both side.

Once unclipped pull from the back towards the front of your car, they are stuck on with double sided tape stuff, so give it a tug it won't break.

Any questions just ask I'll do a video if it becomes easier
