Removing mirror scalps?

[MrEL]

Hi all
I have to remove a mirror scalp and paint it up for the missus's car so what is the best method to remove them without breaking them?
All the ones I have seen removed end up being broken so obviously there has to be a better way.
Cheers.

There are 3 little clips holding them on from the other side of the mirror, so if you move the mirror around while shining a torch in there you should be able to see them, then just use a flat blade screw driver to unclip all 3 and it will pull away from the mirror.
