wheels look (y) they 18s?

Mrs had other plans, next weekend then :(

i heated mine up with a heat gun and used my thumb to roll the the glue into balls pick it off, dont use ure thumb to do this, it gave me the biggest nastiest skankiest blister ever

i used a rubber (pensil eraser, dirty fucks :rolleyes:) to get mine off.

and then some tar remover. wash and then polish :)

yeah i did it on my 1.2. looks a lot better with them off

Engine mods starting with K&N soon, cheers 3Corsameal. Would love to XE her but I'm saving to replace my other VX, a Vectra GSi, with a C20LET'd one in the summer so keeping it cheap for now.

Thanks guys, wasn't expecting that big a response!

Here are a couple of before pics, lets hope the weekend is dry and the wife doesn't have other plans!






Yes, it's got lexus lights but I've only just got it and haven't made my mind up what to replace them with.

Thanks again.

mines is like that at bits to m8

i took mine off and the paint is all scratched underneath

petrols good at taking off the glue to thats what a used to help

just dont light a fag next to it lol

i'll have to ask a couple of mates then, sounds like the ideal thing for the job

Hair dryer won't do it mate need a heat gun if your goin down that road.
Honestly though a toffee wheel is the best way thats how we do it in the bodyshop, and thats how i did mine.

hair dryer any good for the heat?

lol yeh tis pretty hard work - ul guaranteed get bored halfway and get pissed off ( I did ) then for you'll stop and look halfway through - it may look wank to begin with bt the end result is deffo gud :thumbs: Post sum b4 and afta pics 2! Oh and dnt yank the strips off hard, wrk the slowly - I poured boiling water on them to soften them then gently pulled them off.

bit of heat from heat gun,gently take them off,dont want to bring any paint away with them! then some meths/similar to get rid of glue,T-cut and polish

use a rubber/toffee wheel, goes into a drill, if you've got any mates that work in a body shop they'll know wot i'm on about. You'll get it all off in about 10mins with this but don't stay in the same place for to long or you'll burn the paint. Then just a quick polish, job done.

Cool, thats a job for the weekend then, sounds like it'll keep me warm

yes they r stuck on - will leav a lot of crappy glue behind. i used a lot of elbow grease and WD40! then once all off, T-Cut and Polish :thumbs:

Just a quicky, are the Corsa Sport bump strips stick on and if so will them leave much crud behind if I take them off?

Best way to do it?

Cheers all.
