Side badges and side trims

Finally sorting out the damage on the passenger side, ready for the summer.
How easy is it to remove the side badges and trims?
and if they get broken due to brittle, 30yr old plastic, how easy are they to buy?
thanks

They offer a top service which I cant fault. however, coming from the VW scene, I have noticed that 340's seem to lack in a lot of spares. I'm sure you all have a small mountain, which i'm now...

fitting a rev counter

i have been searching to find a post about it, as i imagine there already is a few.

But i have a full set of clocks including a rev counter. how easy will it be to fit? as i only have a "time" clock in mine.
I'm hoping its plug and play, or do I need to start running new cables?

Thanks
