heat it up with a hair dyer and then use cat gut to cut the foam behind the badges. then use meths to remove the rest of the glue and form. It also works with removing the door strips

Yeh i do have a compressor.

Lee - With paint for compressors you have to buy it in half litres which is enough to pretty much colour code the tops of 2 bumpers and 4 arches, you can't buy less, thus why i told you to buy the paint yourself and let me spray it. Because i have no use for start silver paint at the moment

hair dryer softens the glue/double sided sticky tape and the card just help it come off without scratching the paint work at all but like sed above meths or some sort of degreaser is advisable afterwards as there is always a bit of glue left on the car:thumbs::wave:
