I just knew that the bumpers and side strips wouldn't go back on as easily... Mine are already popping off and don't stay when pushed back...

Has anyone ever had to buy them new with new clips?

I'd like my vents in car color but don't wanna sand for hours... :cheesy:
How long did you spend on sanding the vents?


I love the different styles here. That red/grey is nice. And really.. anything is better than the black plastic look...

Sanding takes a few seconds really. Just buff the plastic (or metal, if you decide to paint body panels) gently with wet-and-dry paper -- making sure that the paper is VERY WET, so bring a bucket! -- until it's really smooth.

Oh really? Thought it would take longer to get between the vent lines.

I like the bumper job - that looks great, but I can't help but agree that the red interior details looks tacky. Then again I guess your typical 406 owner likes the blandness, I mean um, "sophistication" ;) of the standard 406 interior. Can't fault the quality of the job though - well done :)

The bumpers are nice, but the red just looks w@nk. Now if it was silver like some of the newer cars are today, then it would have looked so much better, but that red is shite.
