Color coding advice

davneo55 · 11th March 2009, 00:20

Hi!
I've decided to color code my trims. I have a NHB CTS.
In order to save some money, I've decided to take the trims myself. Can someone tell me how to do it and what do I have to pay attention to? Is it an easy process?

It's fiddly, with a lot of potential for snapping clips...

how much money are you saving?

davneo55 · 11th March 2009, 00:30

About £100. So you think that Honda dealer should do it?

As TT says there are lots of clips and screws to remove. Add to that the risk you may damage the parts refitting them once they have been painted, I'd let the dealer do it.

Ok. I'll let the dealer do it. But, due to removing and installing the trims, can they become loosened in some way over time? Or is it a risk I have to take?

No. So long as all the clips and screws are replaced undamaged then it will be fine.
