How do I remove these grey plastic bumper and roof trims so I can return them to black, they are so faded they need spraying. Would I need to remove whole bumper or can it be done without.

Hi Raggy
They just pull off.
This is the discussion for C3 roof trim removal (topic here).
This is a picture of the roof trim being removed, you can see how it is attached.

Thanks, will have a look, thought it shouldn’t be that difficult but didn’t want to rush in like a bull in a china shop and break something. Better to ask first
Any ideas on the bumper trims?

You may find it easier in the end to remove the rear bumper complete and there is less chance of damaging the clips that hold the black strip on.Citroen-Driver wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 1:27 pm How do I remove these grey plastic bumper trim so I can return them to black, they are so faded they need spraying.

The rear bumper is held on by screws behind the rear light clusters (removal tips here), pop in clips and 2 screws from below and the most tricky bit is the bolts that hold the bumper to the rear wing. This is a bit tight for access.
