Dont like it , begins to look like an astra  Each to their own of course 

Don't worry that one got severely  front and back after I sold it to another member  Best Omega I ever did own that was. I did colour code the washer jets and add smoked repeaters which improved it further.

Still prefer the pfl shape and interior , especially of the MV ... pfl bumpers are becoming hard to get now  and the trim

I think I must've been the only one to get shut of my bonnet mounted washers & go with the facelift washers in the scuttle

Greetings guys,  I recently have removed both types of door strip.  Facelift ones are held in place with a screw either end and then slide to release the clips that are attached to the strip, easy to do once door card is removed.

The Mini facelift are a little harder. As has been said they are held in place with bonding tape strips, top and bottom, and two clips towards each end.  To remove you need to break the bond, here's how I did it.  Use a wide wall scraper and gently ease between tape and strip (bottom first) you will be able to feel it. It is then possible to ease /slide the scraper along the length of the strip, do it in stages.  Once the lower edge is done tackle the top edge in the same way, always keeping the scraper between the tape and the strip. Keeping the scraper at a shallow angle will mean this can bee done without damaging the paint work. Once free of the tape slide to remove the clips from their recesses .To remove the old tape you the need to use a Toffee wheel No I'm not kidding.  It's a wheel that is the colour of Caramac, fits into a drill and is a none aggressive, even smells like toffee too   

To replace the strips, clean up side that sticks to car and spray with a rust preventer, I used Bilt-Himber Electrox . Then run two lines of your favourite bonding agent, I used Tiger Seal and re-apply.  The two clips will hold it, just put some tape either end till fully bonded.

I managed to get mine off with no damage to either paint or strip. Just take your time

Then stand back and congratulate your self on a job well done.   

Awesome Roland!!
Thanks a bunch!!!

Just rip them off and fit facelift ones

Shop carefully and get them in the correct colour, and you'll get the desired effect for next to no effort

Arethe FL ones compatible?

Yup can also swap the whole door over if yours are a bit rusty...
