Hi and help
I've purchased a pair of carbon fibre sill scuff guards ( not the illuminated ones ) when I asked the OPC how easy they were to fit the reply was you just pull the old ones off, clean the adhesive off and stick the new ones in there place.

Is it that easy ?, I've given the existing ones a little tug but they seem stuck pretty hard, also these new ones are a lot longer and go partway up the door jamb.

Does anyone know of any instructions on the web etc, I've Googled but found very little.

If the OPC says it's that easy why not ask them to do it can't take more than 30 mins? Costing about £75 in labour, although I suspect it will turn out to be more complex than first described if you go down that route....[;)]

On a more practical note, I was helping a friend remove the trim and door cards off his M3 last weekend, and you have to be quite postive when removing them to say the least, a gentle pull or push simply won't do it.

From what you describe the sill guards are just stuck down so you'll have to force them off and for that reason I'd let the OPC do it as you don't want to damage the paint work....
 
All done, found it hard to pull the first one off, used hair dryer to warm the adhesive up then used plastic tyre levers to give it a start, had to wear thin gloves as I just couldn't get enough grip with my bare hands.
OPC wanted £99 plus VAT to fit them, it took me an hour .

Hi Steve, just out of interest, what adhesive did you use to stick the new ones on with? Thanks.

They come with the adhesive on them, you just peel off the film and push them into place, its just like strong double sided tape.
