    Default Removing Calais Garnish?

    Iv got a vx calais garnish on my car and im just wondering how to remove it? are there bolts on the inside of the boot im guessing?
    also i want to separate the chrome moulding from the rest of the garnish, how is that connected? and is it easy to take off?
    cheers

    There are four bolts along the bottom. & two bolts in the middle and then like four screws... Not too hard to take off.. Just need to find all the screws and bolts!

    And the chrome strip is acutally double side tapped on... So you would have to pull it off with force... very unlikely the strip would re-attach to another garnish without replacing the tape..

    Hope that helps!

    the VX calais garnish looks good... cant see why you would wanna take it off.

    theres also 4 hidden screws behind the garnish that screw into black plastic clips
