    next post.....
    ohh by the way, no chrome removed, used masking tape and cloths....but put masking tape on my t-shirt repeatedly to give it less tackyness - tiny bit of overspray and used elecrtaclean to gently shift it

    ohh, and after i COVERED everything in RTV silicone to hopefully seal it as you will probly see from pics...

    ...ohhhh and i didnt totally drop the bumper, the how2 on here didnt work for my car, so i just clambered under and painstakingly got to the undernieth hidden bolt

    chuffed like, thought i was going to kill them, and using the heatgun meant minimal damage to the lights unlike the dremel way, and heatgun alowed me to bend the plastics back into shape were damage was done --- not a bad days work tho
