do you just want to take it out to fit the POLO decal, coz i got one and i didnt take it out! dont really need to.
just make sure its dry and clean and fit it while its still on car! they look great lol, polopowah is a legend for introducing us to them!!!

no i aint done it - i aint even come close to opening it.

i just thought tho, even if i do get it off, wont the casing be red or is it a clear white ?

Ive had enough - i just stuck it over the top anyway - its fine prob the best option to do just cleaned the light and stuck it on !!!

looks well good - just one air bubble tho

If you're careful enough, you can sometimes pop the bubble with a fine needle and smooth it out with your finger
