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.

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.

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.

i've done Rus's and Rob B's both fine with a caramel wheel, is easiest and best way but use it slowly and keep the paint cool or you'll burn it like it did mine

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.

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.
