Removing Tech II kit - Cabby

Hi,

What's the correct process for doing this, please?

It will be going back on, of course.

Thanks.

I guess that's one way, but I'm sure there is a correct way.

That got me through. There's some plastic push rivets under the front bumper that that doesn't mention though.

Ain't that the truth! I think my car was more tiger seal than metal when I got it tbh

Thanks Trigger, that's great.

Di, I suspect they have already been off at some stage due to the decent paint work, but you never know.

As for Pete and anyone else, satisfaction from me, is guaranteed.

Not yet Mr Whippy. When I do it, I'll post pics

I'm scared to take the kit off my M-Tech II kitted cabby too, I've had my fair share of rust with the moredoor!

When I lifted the moredoor's boot carpet, all I could see was the driveway and the tyres!

I put my arm in through the boot and it came out from the rear wheel arch!

Alas, I didn't get a chance to take any pics of this EPIC rust before serving on the turd for more than I bought it for!

I told the guy coming to view it that it had rusty inners and that it was going to need some serious welding, but he saw the epic Skorpion Zaust and quickly handed over the monies and drove off into the sunset!

I drove the turd for nearly 2 years and made all my money back and some! RESULT!

Mine isn't bad at all. It's pretty solid, but I'm sure I'd find rust if I went on a hunt.
