Side Grills:
I used the traditional method of masking the area and using pry bars - tbh not that difficult to do. Took the chrome off and wrapped them. I have never wrapped before so i think anyone can do it, it does take a little patience though.
Door handles:
I did not remove them - the method i used was the following:
1. Clean the area thoroughly including the little grooves (use a card wrapped in a microfibre cloth to get into the grooves)
2. apply and stretch the wrap
3. heat it
4. use the card to push in the wrap into the grooves spending more time around the corners (try not to push to hard and cut the wrap)
5. heat again and repeat the pressing into the grooves
6. Cut at a slight angle all the way round
7. Peel off
The process above took me 5-7mins per handle
They have been on for over a week and have i pressure washed over them, they havnt moved, so i am very pleased with the results.
