Really need to see a side view of your car, on some cars I like them left on - kind of breaks it up a bit or others it looks wrong

Are the marks not easy to remove with a bit of tcut etc, isnt it the same adhesive as the ones used on the rear badges ?

nobody knows exactly what the marks are.

its like a fading of the paint, or something to do with the laquer.
i've tried t-cut on mine, but couldn't be arsed after a while.

This also happened to mine & have a small white mark, i believe its the glue that has bleeched the paint over time, thats what the bodyshop told me

just debating whether to get shut of mine at the mo too, someone bumped into the side of my car the other day so now is the perfect time to decide for me.
