Hi there, I got my chrome strips under the windows and along the boot lid vinyl wrapped in gloss black, looks good, and I replaced the front fogs with ZS type ones from e-bay, they are not the best fit, but will do till I get my chrome ones sprayed panther black to match the car

Open the door and look in the very corner towards the windscreen pillar and you should see a triangular shaped clip holding it on in the corner (left top corner for driver/right top corner for passenger).

Pry it away with a plastic spudger or flat blade screwdriver and pull up on the strip from the outside of the door. Run your fingers all the way underneath it across the bottom of the window and there will be one more small clip at the other side which takes a little bit of nudging and pushing to get out.

It takes a small amount of brute force but you will get there :)
