The only downside to that is if your not very careful you could mark the paint. I suppose you could use plastic trim removal tools if you have them .
I hear you and your right but as i was removing my front grills from my old bonnet it didn't matter to much.

Looking great Steve. You've forgotten the most important step though - the first one!
Put the kettle on. A brew before you start is what you need. :whistle:

Your old bonnet was almost more filler than bonnet I seem to recall, and a complete pain to open! Good to see it's another thing ticked off the list Steve.

and as the replacement bonnet didn't come with them. I removed the old one's and took them this morning to be shot blasted.

Already looking miles better.
Then I sprayed them with Zinc and Galvanised spray.

Now left to dry while I mowed the lawn
Followed by a second coat.
The spray is touch dry in an hour hardening after 24 hours
