I need to get the trim painted on the bumper corner, it is the part that comes black on the base models.
Reason for asking is it would be easier to remove the trim and give to a painter friend rather than leaving the whole car. Do not want to go pulling and do more damage if it is not supposed to come off once fitted.
Does the corner bumper trim come off? C5 mk1

Re: Does the corner bumper trim come off? C5 mk1
I got a can of paint off ebay mixed to my paint code and laquer off ebay for about £20 to do one corner ended up doing all the bumper trims it was a good match just made the other corners look worse. Not a hard job sand prime paint laquer fit lots of smoothing inbetween. It was very satisfying doing it myself and a lot cheaper than a body shop I can get the link if you want?

Chap I work with, his lad is a mobile paint repairer.
Painting is not my strong point, last job took me a week and that was refurnishing my Exclusive wheels on C5.
