      Yes the storks that stick through to the back that you grind the tops off, you just put adhesive on those, see here: ruclips.net/video/2_kwj-cVYuQ/видео.htmlsi=ZwT2c78MWGGQgb7C

    Hello there! How did you pull out the trim itself?

    • @tweedbean
      @tweedbean  Год назад

      Hi do you mean the trim I painted green? If so it’s plastic welded to the panel so you have to drill out the plastic welds. Paint then put back in place with adhesive, see this video Mini R56 R55 R53 How to remove the painted door card trim? FAQ Instructions 2001-2018 Cooper S
      ruclips.net/video/2_kwj-cVYuQ/видео.html as it’s similar for the r56/r55

    Can you remove the oval green trim without remove the entire door panel?

    • @tweedbean
      @tweedbean  2 года назад

      Unfortunately not. Very similar to this I did for my r56, it’s plastic weld on so you have to drill it off from behind: ruclips.net/video/2_kwj-cVYuQ/видео.html

    Did you take the panel apart to paint your handle green? Just took mine apart and noticed it’s all rivets. Did you break them all or did you just tape off the door?

      @tweedbean  4 года назад

      Hi thanks for watching, I drilled out each of the spot welds, see this video for a similar method I used on my r56 ruclips.net/video/2_kwj-cVYuQ/видео.html

    Very useful this, are the trims easy to remove from the card? Or did you paint yours on the card?
