Default Colour coding

Howdy people. I want to colour code the usual bits, door handles, bump strips, boot trim. Do you have to take them off? How hard is to get them off?
Also, clear side repeaters. Ford quoted me $63 for Focus ones. Can you get them cheaper?
Cheers KJ

I had my car colour coded. Everything except the door handles (gf has nails and lots of bling bling SHARP rings....)

Take the mirror covers off... pop the boot, undo the boot skin and undo the 3 bolts (i think its 3) that hold the boot handle on. Then get a hair dryer, heat the side strips up and start peeling them off. Depending on their condition you may need to buy new ones. I didnt luckily, but it was a right royal ***** getting the glue off the plastic strips (if i had to do it again id buy new plastic strips from ford)

The car will look absolutely hideous with all the bits taken off it, drop it all off at your panel beater and tell em to match it !

I got it done, and its probably the one best thing i have done to the car, made its lines flow smoother, looks alot better

That looks pretty schmick Mitch. My car is new so bump strips are in good nick. Just have to get them off. I like the FIESTA on the boot strip. Did you take the strip off the bottom of the front bumper? I've scraped it already.

That will change in about 4 days teki ordered the fog lights trade price too.

The fiesta badging was removed from the left side of the boot when new, and when i got it colour coded i put them back on onto the boot handle bit of bling hay

Dropped into Ford today & was quoted $380 to colour code door handles, door trim & boot trim. Is this in the ballpark or a bit much? The Ghia looks good like that.
