How do I remove the plastic fog light surrounds on my 172 ph.2?
Get a flat head screwdriver or butter knife behind them and lever them off,
they're made out of a kind of rubbery plastic so they're quite bendy and won't snap.

FLOL be normal!!!
Front one is the same butter knife trick of working your way round it until it pops off,
it's held in with 3 long pins so you have to be carefull or they'll snap.
For the rear you'll need to remove the plastic cowling on the inside of the boot,
you'll see 3 nuts holding the rear diamond section on, once you've unscrewed them,
the whole rear diamond section just pulls off.

Lol that'd be the first thing I'd do if I wanted to remove anything but the top grill
The rear diamond Is glued to the boot handle, so pick off the glue, paint it, then regular

Pick off the glue? :S
Far easier to just remove the whole section, mask it up, sand, primer x2, paint x2, lacquer x3 / x4.
Put back on, stand back, take a pic, then shove it in everyone's faces on here. :approve:
