Chrome Strips

Hey everyone ...

I was just wondering about the lower chrome strips at the bottom of passenger/driver side doors...... they look "ok" but i was thinking of trying to peel them off with the old fishing line / goo gone method ?? Anyone knows if these are just 3M'd on or are they screwed in ??? Im thinking the side would look cleaner if i took them off ?? TIA

Lol

Yall are funny, just for the sake of helping, and not being rude let me help you you. When you are in the forum of w204, there is a search button, on the right side. You can search within the forum for whatever topic you may have. So if you would have searched chrome strips it would have brough back a thread I started where I asked if anyone had done this. This was the first thread about the topic, I know this because I searched and found nothing, so I asked. Then within the thread I posted pictures of my car with and without the chrome strips.

I know that was blunt, but just so we dont get all these repeat topics. Its alot of fun coming on this, for me atleast, and seeing and reading about all these new things, and when it happens that it is just old questions asked again I get sad LOL

Ill attach the link just this one time.

Mike- Look at this way - she is not getting it new. She has 2 years until 15 1/2 which is the legal driving age in Ohio. Plus when I give her the C350 I can upgrade to a something else for me!!!!
