to remove wing mirror covers.......first remove mirror...pull from nearest window.......you will see 4 clips behind holding mirror cover on..........squeeze each one and hey presto .......cover off..............sorry not removed side trims so can't help with that one

i have funny enough to cover them in carbon wrap lol anyway open the door along the edge (lock side) theres a little grommit,pop that off undo the screw use magnetic coz the little ££££ers drop into the door!! then basically you forcefully slide the strip....cant remember if its left or right doh!!.....and hey presto,the wing one if i remember just slide off the same way hope this helps mate.

Just be careful with the wing mirror covers, they score/chip easily when remvoing them.

If you have to use a screw driver etc to pry them off, then wrap the screw driver tip with a rag or similar to avoid damaging the covers.
