3 Door Body Kit

Probably not what you're expecting to read, but are these easy to remove without too many screw holes to fill etc?

No screw holes. It's either taped or bonded to the car. The "bolts" over the wheel arches are false. Just a screw hole under each bumper for the corner parts - in a position they can't be seen anyway.
Hard to remove due to the bond or tape and once off . cleaning the car up of the residue is a nightmare and likely to scratch paintwork.

How to remove "trim" and clean adhesive underneath? - Auto Geek Online Auto Detailing Forum

A few tips above. Good luck, and please post a video of you burning the monstrosity that is the body kit afterwards

You can buy a sticker/ adhesive remover from machine mart, its a rubber wheel that goes on a drill, and it just rubs off.

I have used it to remove sticker from my car, also adhesive strips left on friends cars, when they have removed bodykits

Thanks for all the info.
I ended up not buying it though.

The guy started it before I asked.
I did all the usual checks and it seemed to be fine.
I went to restart it to check reversing on lock; starter motor went like a good 'un but no ignition.
Fuel pump seemed to be working though.
The guy said it was probably out of fuel (it was reading low but not empty) so he shot off to get some, but it didn't make any difference.
Finally after mucking about with the central locking because he suspected the immobiliser, he locked both keys in the car. Game over.

I'll keep looking...

The perfect sales pitch I would have bought it there and then for...... A lit less than asking price lol
