Good Bye Chrome Handles
Not to bad to do if im honest maybe an hour, getting them off is not to bad, use plastic pry tools, a bit of patience and some subtle force and off they pop
Excuse the state of the car, its off for paint correction later this week so its quite dirty

Thanks, i think starting on really small parts helps. bigger bits will seem much less work

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12PCS-Pla...731c%7Ciid%3A1 there is a tool in there just the right size, start in the middle and work towards the back (bigger clip) there will be resistance as it is also held by strong adhesive tape (just take your time, it will start to move)once the middle part is free from the adhesive work back, some bending required to get the piece away from where the clip fits, once that clip is out front just slots out with some jiggling. TBH its not the end of the world if the clip snaps, just use adhesive

So, you took out the chrome bits, put film on them and re-installed? You omitted that part and I'm just trying to figure out the method to it all.

That's exactly what I was thinking and wondering why it was so time consuming. Oh well, looks great Mark. It would look great on my white GC.

that looks a nice job and they look much more skilled than i am lol , watching how effortlessly the guy tucked the wrap under the front door trim is pretty awesome.
