Leave the bumper in the sun for a couple of hours before removing the strips. The heat makes the bumper and strips much more pliable. :)

Oh poo! I bought several Claret front bumper strips, the idea being that I could use them to replace the side strips as well...........WRONG!

Iโ€™ve just taken one out of the packet and found that theyโ€™re smaller AND the side ones are glued and not clipped in!

What a Plonker! :oops

Yes. The side ones are symmetrically domed, but by virtue of lying along a corner, the bumper
ones have a slightly 'sheared' dome profile. The side ones are attached with tenacious double-
-sided adhesive strips. Your new spares should find takers if you offer them for sale.

It would be good if the extrusion tools survive.
