alot of cars actaully miss thre strip altogether though soi woudl just go for it... and when you park in a car park park next to a clean car (hopefully because they care for their ca and wont hit yours) or on the other side of the carpark :-D

Well that settles it ! haha. fair point tbh, handt thought of it that way really. saturday- the come off too!

if you do thatgetting thm off without spraining the plastic can be hard...i say do it but fit mk5 ones that are sprayed...thay lie much flatter and five a nice oem look!

the mk5 ones are clipped on to mk5's but u snip of the clips and source some double sided adhesive tape and refit.
