If it is like and 850, I think you will find a torx screw just in from the door edge, remove it and gently slide the thing forwards I think.

Pretty sure that the later cars rubbing strips are just stuck on.

Clip push system IIRC, IPD suggest their "bone" tool to pry them off.

Really?, I was pretty sure they where stuck on, or is that the ph1 cars?.

Apparently its combination of tape and clips:

Was thinking about doing this myself but only got as far as getting paint, so will be interested to see how it goes :)

I'd being considering something similar on the S60(52 plate) but have also been thinking about whether the later chrome trims would fit - anybody tried it or know if it's possible?

i'm just going to do mine while there on it's all white anyway so with abit of good masking will be able to get away with it cheers everyone
