Got to impatient for the weekend so I've already done my practice on removing them I've created a thread hope it helps :)

http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/45987-removing-fog-light-inserts-and-lower-grille-on-a-mk7-st/

Absolute legend!!! Thanks for taking the time!! Hope I can return the favour with a mod help in the future!!

I'll be taking them out on the weekend as a test run don't want to look stupid on the Tuesday haha . I'll get some pics up when I have them out and so forth :).

Also I know this is Ross thread but what do you think to this red moulding tape idea??? Opinions???

I really like the red moulding tape accents. Any ideas where to get it from and how easy the stuff is to use?

I'm sure you will be able to :)

It's on eBay for about (3mm thick apparently the 4mm is to thick) £10.00 just heat it up and apply neatly I like it but not sure I would like it forever haha, but not sure on the durability :/ hmm. Research I think is required haha

I really like that red detailing, although I feel it suits the black st more 😃

As for removing surrounds and grilles I mentioned before that I got a body shop to remove them as I'm not that good with spanners and what not 😝

I went out the Sunday just gone and the car it a lot of attention and a few fellow owners loved what I'd done 👍

No spammers required haha :)

I can't get it all done at once :( due to the woman wanting to go to Cuba :/

But hey can't wait

So jealous :)

Don't be jealous, Cuba sounds nice 👍

I'm no good with spanners so I'd rather pay someone to do it for me!

I found this on ebay for £3.50. Might be worth a buy for that price, nothing lost if I dont like it and take it off or they fall off!!

Haha!! Oh no i feel kind of responsible for the quality now :-( but the listing says just warm the back with a hairdryer to help the adhesive and stick it on for 24hrs. Let me know what its like...plus maybe the odd pic. Appologies in advance if its a load of...

Lets hope it comes off easy haha or I blame you :p

Do you fit this to your car or eat it?

Looks like liquorice to me!

Haha I'm not sure but if it goes wrong least I have 5m of liquorice haha

Just been speaking to a guy named Josh on the ST owners club site and he told me that with a bit of a forceful pull they just come out, just don't pull to fast as the clips could snap.

i also got them a bit cheaper as i said i would take them out (oops haha) i will let you know how i get on :)

the work will be getting done on Tuesday (ill keep you posted)

Did you get the grilles done? good? found a local body shop that cant do it as soon as I get the car, doing plastic primer, primer and then spray. They have asked me to make sure the dealership do not spray silicone as it could create a problem with paint adhesion. Do Ford dealerships do that though? I wouldn't have thought so. Any ideas?

Nope not yet, he should be arriving at mine in about 30mins, and i will let you know the outcome and upload pics :) (start my own thread) also no silicone spray has been put on mine, they're just a standard plastic finish.

I will try and find out how he will tackle the spraying as i don't want to teach him how to suck eggs haha
