under the light does it come off?
i have noticed a crack in the weld on the drivers side that attches it to the wing (hence the 1st line lol) as i got to respray the strip i was thinking off smoothing the welds up, if it comes off i doubt i will bother |

In short yes it comes off... Remove the Torq bits and unclip it. Carefull as it's clipped in to the wings and you can break it! |

well thats welded on isnt it? part of the shell?
Although thinking about it yeah i suppose it could be clipped/screwed on and then sealant in the seams under the lights... |

so your effectively grinding the welds off, nice and safe in a crash then. |

no 1 weld is cracked and im gonna weld it up and blend both sides up and not grinding the welds off plus i doubt that would do much for you in a crash anyway |

I hardly think grinding a bit of weld that holds on an essentially cosmetic piece of bodywork is going to have any effect on crash safety.
Besides, if you're talking about the seam I think you're talking about, it will require filling rather than griding to make it smooth... |

Is it really worth it... |
