Finally got the buggers off! looks soooo much nicer. I Found that using a paint stripper heat gun to heat up the strips works wonders as it leaves hardly any glue. my paint work has no defects and is a perfect colour match. White spirit works a treat on getting the glue gone.
Getting my new Wheels Soon! and a 40mm Drop, Can't Wait!

mine doesnt have coded mirrors, and after the bloody frustration of my handles and bootlock surround, i dont think ill be rushing to paint my mirrors just yet.
plus id have to leave them off for at least like 5 days, to paint them and give them a good chance to dry, as when i did my bootlock surround i put it on about an hour after i finished spraying it and the cold night turned the laquer cloudy, making it look bright pink.
i bought my paint from halfords, the 300ml cans, damn on perfect match for my flame red, but im an obsessive compulsive cleaner/Tcutter/waxer so my paint looks like new.
