    Its not a big job, honest. The door card comes off to allow access, the door rubber comes off then the door trim, chrome or shaddow lline and iirc, 1 or 2 phillips screws and Roberts your mammys brother.

    Hoping to do these on mine too, I'm thinking gloss black. Could technically do them in place but it would be very messy masking the whole car up.
