Well I got the roll over hoops painted the same colour as the rest of the car. all fitted now I think they look better than the silver ones.

They look great with the new wind deflector as well.

Nice touch, any issues with broken clips getting them removed?

They are much easier to remove than E85 ones. They are like a ball and socket, quite difficult to break. I greased mine when i painted and fitted, to make removal a doddle. Just used a really wide prying tool and wack it with the ball of your hand. Really simple compared to E85. :thumbsup:

As Zed 5 says they come off quite easily. these are 2 replacement ones i got from eBay for a tenner (Bargain)
I just had to drill them for the wind deflector fixings. then a few coats of Jet Black paint then a few coats of lacquer. Flated them and then polished. only took a week. I am happy with the finish.
