Do away with them! Looks much more modern!

And either put facelift bump strips on or cover the chrome on the MFL bump strips with wide body stripe tape (that's what I've done)

They all seem to have a crease/bump of some sort in them. I know the middle bit for the rear is around £20 ;)

Got a full mini f/l Elite rear bunper in Z147 silver if it's any use, wouldnt fancy trying to seperate the chrome myself though

The trim is held in place by the painted/coloured section. If you remove the bumper & look on the inside and you'll see how the painted/coloured section comes out. Dead easy. :y :y
