Door bump strips

[vigyaz]

Has ayone removed these on their fabia 2 yet? just interested in what they look like without , was tempted to colourcode mine or remove them but unsure of the type of fixings they have if any? or is it simply adhesive?

[Ootohere]

Have a look in the Project Section,

 Brimmas white Estate early of in the thread, with the Strips and without, just stuck on.

 

EDIT,

page 2 in the Fabia Project Journals currently.

Lots of nice improvements, and shows well different wheels.

Just park as far away from every other car

[vigyaz]

Already do this lol. missus moans like crazy when i park at our local tesco's. i park like in the section of the carpark nobody else is in :P

All vRS come without them as standard, they would be fitted as an option.

 

Personally i think they are good at doing the job they are supposed to, which is give some protection.

Not as much as on a Citroen Cactus, 

I think that needs to be my next car.

Yup, iv done mine.

Its just double sided tape, so itll carefully peel off.

Beware of the amount of water and dirt its holding behind, and you might notice a slight difference in paint colour. A machine polish will sort that!

Looks miles better without IMO.

I just told them if there were any marks what so ever on my car they'd be paying for a full side respray which there were not so I then went on about respect etc
