took mine off ( white B combo)
and if you look closely you see where it was but on mine you have to look.

I'd do it.

ring ya local bodyshop and get a quote on c/c ya bump strips, arches, handles, boot lock, etc might not be as exspensive as u may fink! :thumbs:

And no it wasn't glue just where the paint had faded I guess :(

But this was not the sticky tape or some glue ??

Think maybe the best bet is to leave them and get black(or grey:( ) stuff coloured coded.
Bound to get dinged in a carpark! I wish everyone had smart cars that they cared about, cos then everyone would be careful not to ding someone elses motor!

Sure mate I have read the faq, but what I'm asking is whether there is a noticable paint colour difference. I understand the method to remove the strips.
Sorry if my post was not clear :rolleyes:

firstly try reading the faqs section!!!!
but the answer is no they are stuck on with sticky tape, on 1 side i heat gunned it and it takes ages to come off (bout 45 mins) then on the other side i yanked it straight off and white spirited it and that side took about 5 mins :)

I have a W reg B in Star Silver. If I removed the bump strips should I expect a colour difference, this is something I really wouldn't want !!

Defo gonna err on the side of caution on this one :)
