Removing coloured wing mirror shells!
Does anyone know how the shells are removed from the mirror body?

With a plastic removal tool. They only clip on, you need to be firm and they will pop off.

You can pop the shells off with a trim removal tool, I think I started on the top edge closest to the window.

I also fancy doing a black wrap on the roof to make it all the same colour too...

I considered that but not completely convinced, I would like to see it done in photoshop or similar first. Would certainly 'drop' the profile of the car with the roof up and make it look sleeker I think..
If you go ahead please post a pic or two.
