Chrome Roll Hoops for convertible?

Has anyone changed the standard roll hoops to the chrome? I got the chrome ones from Mini but can't figure out how to get the olds ones off first.

I have changed mine. You need to remove the back headrests first. There is a plastic plug on the rear side of each headrest, pry that off and then you can unscrew the headrest. You then need to carefully pry the plastic covers apart without breaking the little plastic clips. Once they are pryed apart you can remove the grey covers and replace with the chrome ones. It is relatively easy. Take Care

Those arrows were standard on my MCSC, but I cut them off. They clashed with the black exterior...
