Thanks for that mate 
One last Q, can you take them off without bending them up, any tricks to taking them off?

This painter's gonna love you.

The one on here or the one doing the van?

The one on here has been more than helpful, the one doing the van won't be getting my custom again 

He'll be a lot better at it once you've told him how to do it.

If they're just stuck on with adhesive, he needs to warm it up with a heat gun, not too close, or he'll blister your paint and end up painting the door, anyway, heat it up, and work a flat spatula, or clean filler spreader under the trim, but check first that there's no 8 or 10 mil nuts holding it at either end, i hope you haven't paid a lot to this chap, it's a shame, when you get a bad apple in the trade like this, it can get the rest of us a bad name.

Not loads really but not a cheap job, £230 (around that can't remember exact price now) for front and rear bumpers, mirror covers and bumper inserts.

He's a lot cheaper than me then, for me to colour code all that, i'd be looking at about £300 - £350, there's a good days work on it, hope he gets it right for you this time.

When's his next attempt? Let me know how it goes, be interesting to hear the outcome.

Tuesday, will keep you updated 

[spacekid2009]

How did it go, is it sorted?

[Del Boy]

Changed to tomorrow as I needed the van today, noticed luckily too, he painted the wings which I forgot to say, all the paint has sunk into the stone chips, so he'll be doing them again too.

Blimey, not having much luck with it atall by the sound of it
