Default Removing chrome around air vents

Any ideas on how to remove the chrome trim on the rear portion of the side air vents on the flying buttresses? They are on their really tight. I’m trying to get some off of a parts car but the guy doing it says that they’re really tight and is afraid he might bugger them up. Any thoughts?

There's a small 8mm ish nut on the inside of the panel access via the boot at the bottom of the strip.#12
That will free the small chrome pointed finisher, Once that's off it just clips off...
You will need everything out of the boot
