It's a shame but i might have to just use bumper black on them.. instead of colour coding.

Anyway, the area under the 1.2 is allot brighter than the surounding paintwork.

If i remove the side bump strips i'll definately have bright red stripes down the car!

I'll Tcut the back and see if the place were the badge was becomes invisible and then decide if removing a much larger area such as the side strips is worth it.


yeah, i had problems doing my brothers car with the strips. the glue might've had a reaction with the lacquer or paint and its left big lines down the door. i wouldn't take them off unless your spraying the doors again or spraying the door strips and putting them back on.
