:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

the orange bit is on little VERY brittle snap clips, if you are very lucky you could split it off the panel.
but much safer to buy and fit the lot imo.
or fill it with car body filler and paint it out, or plastic wrap it (how do you spell vynil--vynal--vynel--viynal) :) it looks rubbish in orange :lol:

This is only a guess... (I've never messed with the rear panel.)

The orange strip looks like it clips on in three sections..?? I'm assuming from the arrow on yer pic you have damaged the passenger side wide bit... :-k

So, it may just be possible to get hold of that section intact from a rear ended scrapper, (Well, maybe a clip or two broken?) & re-affix with something like Tigerseal...? :idea: :arrow:

I only know of two people that have knowledge of such witchcraft... :wink: bigdaddycain & daveblueozzie.. Try giving em a PM..?!!
