Thanks, Adam Hi Adam, Welcome to the Forum, Don't Know how to remove it mate, but may be cheaper to carbon wrap it or black vinyl, At least then if you ever decide you want a chrome one you just remove the strip.B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preee Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I would guess its stuck down using Ford "Poo to a Blanket" double sided tape, if so you may find it hard to get off with out damaging it, Try heating it up with a hair dryer , it may just peel off then.

This is an example of what i mean: My link At £32 for the part mate id wrap it, plus the cars black you may not like it as much with the black panel on the bonnet, up to yourself but id wrap it for less tha £10 with the same results, and if you ever look at the car some day and think to yourself ''ya know that lenny lad was rite, it does look better in chrome on a black car''' you wont have a big job restoring it back to chrome again :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focus-Jonny Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hi Lenny (Hate to revive an old thread) did you paint your chrome bonnet trim or wrap it? i have the same colour focus and i am thinking of using your styling idea! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
