They do tend to bend when you remove them, perhaps you should think about Facelift ones, easy to change & they look better.

Check strap repair part numbers are listed in the guide I think, and can be bought from the dealer. Not expensive at all iirc

I thought about that once but the problem is then the front bumper looks out of place with FL trim all round then the black & chrome on the bumper

Agreed - however, they will need to be cut/filed down to size to make them fit - it's not a simple matter of whacking them in place. So, a sturdy vice will be needed and obviously this will all add time to the job.

You also need to check that any bits of metal haven't got into the window glass mechanism inside the door and caused damage. That's what happened with mine and it took quite a bit of sorting.

Yep, that was what stopped me putting F/L ones on my old Pre=facelift, it was black.
