Think they just clip off, may be bonded on, on the front there's 2 corners either side of the number plate, if you take them off, I presume they just pry off, you might get started from there.

Good luck.

you have to take the colourcoded bit of the bumper off from the black bit

If you pullthe strip out, most likely it will bend and won't look right afterwards.
Someone used some form of tape to cover theirs previously and it looked ok.

Go for the tape, far easier,

Do you still have the door trims on? guess they are chromed aswell? if so, they will be a pig as they are a metal insert. Tape best way for these aswell.

If not, no bother!
