How did these get on there in the first place?

They must be factory fitted options. Over-protection, just like the "car bra" or mats to protect mats. Actually, headlight protectors are the same. I can't talk as the dealer insisted on including them for our agreed price. However, I ended up taking them off my last car, the Calais.

OMG BBQWTF.. lol u never told me u had a euro. haha whos is it?

Just leave them on,they don't look too bad!Plus you may find that after you take them off the paint underneath is slightly discoloured from the adhesive.

They should peel off fine. Just do it on a hot day and slowly peel it off, your paintwork won't peel off with it. It's just like de-badging a car, a little heat and then peel. After that, just give the area a good polish to get rid of the sticky stuff and you'll be fine.

nah i dont like it..!!!
called up the dealer and they said they stuck it on as an option with double sided tape...goodtape of course
ehehehe...
thanks.!!:D:D

try using floss to take it off...

[sendok]

yeah under the sun.. and hairdryer seems to be alright.. or maybe you want try with soap liquid.. it might helps..

[catixen]

just buy some clear base, and white paint. that way your car will still be protected and you won't notice them

[tron07]

Get them painted white... then it wouldnt look so bad

[sendok]

maybe with white colour should be nice.. and got extra protection :D

[defect]

paint it white :)

[J-TODA]

wats it for??? i saw a silver on the otehr day wif it....dosnet realli tickle my fancy ahah =]]

[Bayani]

What's it for? LOL!
It's protection, ie: bumps from tolleys, etc

[E-Gene]

I don't agree with paintitng it white. Then you'll have 2 bumps there that look crap. I say just rip them off, they don't protect that much anyway.

[albii]

get them off...now. when i see stuff like that, i think crap driver.
hairdryer and euclyptus oil does the trick.:thumbsup:

Fishing Line ftw

[BraXta]

if you paint those things and they are that squishy rubber they will crack the paint up and look real bodgie...

i think the old hairdryer n fishing line is your best bet
