Title: B pillar external mouldings
Post by: rich83 on September 02, 2011, 02:53:54 pm

Hi Chaps

Not exactly sure of the proper name of these but i think you'll understand me. The black vertical bits on the edge of the door windows.

Is there anyway to remove these? Some kind soul has given one of mine a bash!  :sad1: :sad1: :sad1:

Thank
Rich

they are about £16 each. I bought a full set for a 5 door when replacing the poverty spec matt ones with glossy GTI items.
