hey guys
now this is what it started out with bump strips and all, first off you have to remove the bump strips, i just sliped a card of sum sort down the back of it and pryed up the strip leaving the rest to be pulled of by hand, in some cases you will have to remove bolts for some sections of the strip

this is what it looks like with the strip removed. now to remove these tabs i experimented with two methods, firstly i cut off the tabs with a angle grinder and then drilled out the old tabs, this was effective but it is very easy to damage the panel, the other method was angle grinding the tabs off with a very thin angle cutter and then grinding off any excess, this method i found alot easier and still had the same effect

this is the result of me grinding them down and then drilling them out , it did end up putting a ding around the hole which had to be bogged up so i would be very carfull with this method

and this is a result with them ground down, not sure if you can see it properly bit i would probly recomond this method, using the bog carfully is needed hear to get it perfectly flat, after bogging and sanding all you will have to do is apply some primer and paint and your all set to go
