How do you remove the Black trim?

[Retro_Boy_G]

Hey guys,

I\'m starting work on the RX7 now and first job i want done on the exterior is to colour code the black trim around the car with the rest of the car. Has anyone ever removed it or know how its done?.. I had a quick look at it yesterday but could not make my mind up wither it was glue or clips holding it down..

Thanks guys!

P.S. Could anyone take a picture of the exact Castrol Oil they use in their RX7?.. I went to get some yesterday and there were too many to choose from.. I\'m an idioth...

if you have a camera phone i can send you a pic if you want. dunno about the trim, i expect its a bit of both

Awww man, ive been having problems with my media messages.. I just bought an 02 XDA phone but have a pay n go sim card inserted and the woman said because the phone was never intended for non contract sims it wont accept MMS..  well something along those lines.. Can your phone send emails with attachments?

[dthebuk]

probs has it but setting it up is            beyond me. well its a white bottle that says castrol gtx on it. then under that it says 10w-40 a3/b3. the only similar ones say either diesel or high mileage.

[Retro_Boy_G]

ahh, so 10w is fine?.. I was looking for 15W stuff.. it only seems to be diesel or high mileage stuff i can see online.. I\'ll need to have another look in the supermarkets then..

Is this it?

dunno about 15, think some people use 30. yup the 1 in the link is fine. you can normally get 4l for about 12 quid from tesco extra.

Awesome! Thanks man..

Just need to find out about the trim now!

[dthebuk]

just found them in the work shop manual. theyre just glued on to the sides. it says to carefully use a knife and if you get stuck use a hair dryer to help. the front and rear bumpes are snap on. just remove the lights or reflectors first

[Retro_Boy_G]

You are some man! Thank you very much

[dthebuk]

oh, and if you want pictures...

All the ootside trim is also held on by push fit clips. They use those glue strips as well but be warned the clips are very tight and often break. Some of the rear ones and wings you can get to from behind to help them out.  If you have a steel ruler I found this the best to gently prise them away from the body. Theyt will often end up slightly curved but don nopt worry about this as they will be stuck back on. Just leave them flat somewhere and they revert to being flat again. (not unless you have seriously yanked it off)

Ha Ha.. ok Thanks!

Can anyone now tell me the exact wheel fitments for my RX7? I was looking into powder coating but its almost working out the same price as a nice set of new alloys which sucks.. I just don\'t know what ones will fit.. I\'m looking for white.. pretty much the exact same as these..
