Koop Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 That's them cheers Mike. Yours look well smart, swaying me toward wrapping rather than painting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 How did you stick em back on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 It is quite durable stuff the 3M dinoc film and quick to finish.To put back together simply put the trim back on the door and use a rivet gun to reattach it........replacing the 2 you previously drilled out to get it off.

fatttty Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Now to find me a rivet gun cheers mucker I used some self tapping screws instead of rivets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 But non-GTI's are screwed on - no drilling or rivets are required! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Ooh that is good news I'll have to check mine out later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Can't comment on non GTI cars, only my own which were riveted in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Mike, non-GTI B pillar trims are held on with two philips screws so they are even easier to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Weight saving I guess LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Could be! I guess aluminium rivets must weigh less than steel screws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koop Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Well i thought I'd give it a go & it was so easy i just swapped the worst offender with a slightly less battered trim off the S, that'll do for now Cheers dudes!
