Hi, does anyone know if these can be removed easily without having to repaint or play about with bodywork after. As iv seen a few connects without them and personally think they look better. cheers Sam

Yep I removed mine the other day in about an 30 mins.

Heat gun on low heat each strip for around 1-2 mins, you should then be able to peel the strips off the paint and most the glue will come off with them. Any excess can cleaned up using a tar & glue remover, you will need to polish the paintwork underneath to remove the excess grime and discolouration :)
