Trust me, it's a total twat...
You'll almost always end up breaking the lip of the rear of them... Or putting a hole in it, imagine the glue is like plyable cement - same kinda consistency... I've managed to do 2 sets, but they aren't in the best condition anymore!!!

^^ +1... Mine were hanging when i'd finished with em... Managed to seal them back up, and they look good on the car, so long as you don't lift the bonnet!

Looks really good.
I'm interested in a guide on the Valeo's, the fitment is so much neater when they're back on the car...

I'm gonna crack on with the other side today so ill do a bit of a guide, don't know if I've discovered any epic technique but it seriously only took me about 2-3 mins to open it when it was out of the oven!
Most of the time was spent prepping/ painting or removing old glue!

Interested to see how they look on your car too as it's the same colour as mine...

Gonna look epic, I've used plasicoat metallic graphite and it really is a nice contrast to the manstain.
Tell you what if it looks good ill swap you for your smooth bonnet/grill?! Lol
Worth a try!
Na, I've seen a few people with masks on moonstone and it always looks good, can't wait to get them on.

Mmmm, I desperately want some valeo masks, the depos (as Chris said) just don't fit all that well.
