rear badges just pulled off (well some had fallen off) and the side strips i just peeled off very slowly u could use a heat gun that would help but as they were new on they came off pretty easy. | |

Did mine today, it's a Corsa B tho. Followed advice seen on here ie. hairdryer to heat em up then peel them off, used white spirit to clean up all the glue, washed it then t-cut it. But ive still got a white stripe down the side of my car! Do I just have to keep on t-cutting it? It's not glue, its the actual paintwork. Got a pic can sum1 post it up? | |

A bit of colour coding and strip removal makes a big difference...... will have to go down the bodyshop on monday and ask how much they want to remove the badges from the back and the door strips. | |

Also is it worth getting all the black plastic bits colour coded?? Or should I just leave it and wait till I get a body kit?? (That could be ages away) | |
