Talking Another DU VAY refresh update

So yesterday I collected my other front wing back from the body shop along with the lower headlight trims (not pictured) As with the driver side front wing I've had recently refurbished I also had the inside of this front wing treated, sealed at the edges, primed, painted and even lacquered. The outer paint is simply exquisite and a perfect match without any stone chips.
Few happy snaps below.

Thumbs up Another DU VAY refresh update

Finally got both of my lower sill covers back freshly painted and looking brand new First 2 pix show just how badly stone chipped they were before the re-fresh especially on the leading edge.
While the plastic sill covers were off being re-sprayed I thoroughly cleaned the metal sills (which are usually hidden) and applied couple of cheeky layers of AUTOGLYM's finest for future preservation

Matt,
If you were any sort of person, you would be doing a photographic step by step guide on how to remove these items :p .

To do it properly the front wings and the sill covers had to come off anyway + I didn't want the inevitable car body shop dust all over Cecils interior and in all the nooks & crannies
