Today I set about removing my broken bump strip and replacing it from a one from the scrap yard

Is their a certain way to remove and replace them that dosent break every clip in sight?

I removed 3 from cars breaking in the scrappy and I broke every clip, and then proceeded to break all the clips on mine removing the broken one
Theres now a row of broken clips where my bumpstrip used to be
cheers for any info

You're best of getting more from Pug, this came up recently and they're pennies.

unclip each end then slide either left or right that how i did mine

Thats what I tried to do but they just kept breaking with bits of plastic flying everywhere

Theres a Pug dealer 5 mins up the road, il get some more clips

Are they a readily available off the shelf part? or will I have to order and wait

my main dealer said i had to buy new bumper strips as clips come as a complete set one of the lads gave me a hand full and he said they order them in packs of 100 for coppers i try stear clear of main dealer

You can push them out from the inside with a long nose pliers to push each side together. I wouldnt bother though its too much hassle. Its part number 8565.34

thanks for that, you beat me to it

my next question was if anyone had the part number

I bought some the other day, 14p+vat each, although my stelaer had to order them in - took 2 days

Just rany my local dealer, they have 16 in stock so popping over to get some, I just need 5, but will get probably 10 just to be on the safe side, As I can be a bit rough sometimes

my stealer had 14 in stock but needed 24, - 7 for each front and 5 each rear door so had to get them to get some in so had 30 instead.
It's like the ones that hold the sill rubber on, I got half a dozen extra of those just in case

Remember, dont put them into the door first. Slide them into the sill guard first.

I got some this afternoon

Yes, I slid them on the bump strip before I clipped it on

Cheers for all the info chaps

Recently had cause to change mine and thought I'd add a little note to this post, if your stripping a replacement from a car at the breakers make sure you remove the strip from the hinge side of the door first. I snapped the 'L' clip on the first trim i tried to remove (luckily nobody saw and they had a few D8's in). ease the starlock washer off with a screwdriver, no real choice but to snap the clips then slide the 'L' clip bit out of the door.
