Also had the dent in the rear 1/4 panel fixed up.
after a 9month battle with 'my mate' who hit me whilst drunk; i ended up paying for it myself and he claims he's gonna pay me back.

Not sure if i will paint them or take them off.
I'm afraid if i take em off i'll destroy the paint, and i don't mind the look of them painted.
But its not quite as good as gone. However they keep me safe from the trolley/carparks.

It wasnt to bad with my ride the paint one one side wasnt bad at all however the otherside peeled alittle but i got alittle touch up paint sprayed then buffed and it was good as gold
but being orange it would be alot harder i think . Your right there they do protect it a s*(**hit load
