Hay i have a sxi 2000 plate. how do i get the black door strips off? on my old 1994 5door it lit pealed off

but i think at a guess this is more than stuck on. whats the best way around taking this off?

cheers

pretty sure its exactly the same m8...just the adhesive will probs be a newer stronger bonding one...or just the same. But it is new and so stuck on better; use a hairdryer and hot water to heat up the glue then use a free credit card wannabe to lift the plastic away from the adhesive....then let it cool and peel the rest of the strip off is wat i been told...then tar and bug remover on the adhesive menna be good at gettin it off.

I thought they clipped on in some way, and that if you removed them then you ended up with holes in your door? i saw someone recently who had had a crash and the plastic had come off, and where it used to be there were holes that looked like the strip was riveted too or something

I would say the easiest way would probably be to take your own door strips off, and buy a can of the right colour paint from your local vauxhall garage and spray it yourself

yeah the corsa b ones are glued on, the corsa C ones are the ones you cant really take off. oh by the way dan, you can get this stuff from asda called sticky stuff remover. thats what i used when i took the rub strips and badges off of my old corsa. cost like 3 squid. wipe the stuff on all the left over adhesive, leave it for 5-10 mins then it just peels off. as for the red sidelights mate, i had them on my old corsa lol, got pulled for that. looks wicked though haha. the cops thought the front of my car was the back, and that i was driving on the wrong side of the road

i only got a £30 fine for it though, i left them in
