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.
 
@Low Rider Steve now you have the long awaited new bonnet I think you should put the trademark plaster back on =))
 
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.

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

Just removed my brothers from his Z3 and they are even worse than mine were.
Back to the shot blaster tomorrow.
