The roof rails?

They unclip fairly easily and can be welded over and filled but its difficult to get right and you'll need to paint a large area.

will cost a fair bit to do as ull need to spray a big area. but im sure all that needs doing is to use a bit of filler.

Has to be done with minimal filler or it'll stick out like a sore thumb when it cracks.

you cant fill them, they need to be lead filled and you have issues with them cracking, and have to be carefull when jacking the car up etc

More trouble than it's worth imo. I understand people like Claire Richardson having them done - to completely smooth the car but serious pain in the arse!!

Just colour code them dude
