ctr side stickers - how to remove and replace

saintlysimon · 02-13-2009, 09:16 PM

hi guys,

Need some advice on removing a pair of damaged ctr side stickers safely.

Had my 9 valeted and the twat damaged both stickers! God knows how. Now need to remove both without taking any paint off!

Also, about to buy a set of gen replacments with templates. But before i put them on, want to know how i should prepare the body work.

My mate reckon clay bar the body work, getting all grime off. Then when nice and dry just template em on.

Any other advice welcome!
Thanks
Si

heat them with a heatgun or hair dryer to make em tacky and peel em off keep the gun moving though so you dont damage paint.rub the goo off with tar and glue remover

be carefull not to over heat, you may blister the paint,

take your time and heat it gradually.

A hairdryer does the trick, then some good scrubbing with Glue+Tar remover!

As for the template, the stickers come with it. They line up to the rear arch so it shows you exactly where to place it.
