I got my plates done @ Cheapestplates.co.uk

if you want the font 3/4 size like mine, just request it in the additional information.

My method was for removing the strips were:

a) going to the local hardware store to buy some white spirits

b) heating the plastic strips and slowly peeling them off but sliding a credit card along slowly trying to remove as much tape as possible.

c) after the strip was off, I generously doused the glue in white spirts and press the card against the bodywork and stripped the glue off.

d) it was a case of rinse and repeat of step c, just keep rubbing the glue with a white spirit soaked cloth and stripping with the card.

after I worked out this method it didnt take long at all. and it stopped my fingers hurting to!

after all the glue was off, its a case of t-cutting, but thanx to my car being second hand, its had a side impact and a new set of doors so no fading

good look, and thats for the positive comment
