lol fair enough but spend the 24 quid it will be worth it especially if u want a change then you dont want holes in your body work

Can see your point though, just did whats best for me really.

There pretty easy to do, you can do it with a rattle can or you can get a body shop type place to do it for about £50 odd or pm Teebag he might be able to help out as hes started his own spraying business.
As for the clips id probably get the pug ones but maybe put a couple extra ones on as there not very secure but as best you need 4 on each.
Rubbers arnt essential tbf, it will scratch your paint without them but i didnt like the look of abit of rubber poking out so i pulled them off.
