Well no I don't really fancy them colour coded... Too much cost/hassle to do lol... I've decided that they're staying (at least for now anyway).. Until I pluck up the courage to do it haha | |

Colour coded bump strips are the way forward imo. | |

ooh, use "Sticky stuff remover" to get the glue off- it works a treat. | |

Managed to get mine off all ok just had to give good polish and wax off afterwards. Used hairdryer to take it off, and petrol to take the remanants of glue off, Beware can be a long job as i took mine off loads of glue was left on. I know there is an air tool you can use if you have a compressor cant remember what it is but will take it straight off :thumbs: | |

It's a 2000 w... Do you think I'd be better off leaving them alone? | |

Depending on what year your car is, it may need spraying anyway | |

use a heat gun to heat the bits you want to remove, or use boiling water, once there off use a white spirit type fluid to get any sticky bits left on | |
