Has anyone got any decent pics or advice to what I might expect when removing my strips like a BLACK HOLE! ;

Thanks

you will have guide holes like this


bit of a bummer would look so much beter without strips :/

Thanks for the reply Luke, and are those holes small enough to be filled?

Thanks Tony

People often remove the strips and full them but I think the majority weld making it a pricy time consuming job for small return

Yea i was thinking that too, And do you know if you gotta break em off? Or can you just put them back on (Clips or something) after spraying?

They're all self adhesive and once off the adhesive is a pain to adhere again. Could use some sort of silicone for it to re glue.

no they arnt clips there just to line it back up properly,

and if you take them off youll need to get all the adhesive foam of and put new tape on,

there easy to get off just slide a credit card behind them with some wd40 and work them off

i was waiting to get the ones on the bumpers out, i didnt want to break them geting the clips out :/

but i saw someone who just masked them off and it turned out good so i have started them today should be done soon

Yea Colour coded stips look 10X times better! Black ones are Gay :/
But I might give Masking just around the strips then spraying ago

ill let you know how mine turn out

i didnt want to mask them becasue i thought the paint wouldent get right into the recess, but ill soon find out :L

the side strips are real easy to get off though dont worry i would recommend using a toffee wheel to get the adhesive off, works a treat

Yeaa can't wait to start mine before i see what yours turns out like
