Can the side stripes be easily removed ?

If you get bored with the stickers can they be easily removed?

Obviously after a period of time the paint colour may be different under the stripe but is it easy to remove the stripes after say 3 months if you decide you don't like them?

Would there be any paint damage ? Anyone done this yet ?

Yep, easy.

Warm the area up nicely with a warm air gun (carefully) to sopfthen the adhesive.

Thanks for the quick replies.

I was a little worried about the fresh paint coming off with it - especially where they overlap the door edges and stuff. It sounds like you guys have experience of removal though so you've put my mind at rest. Again, thanks for your input.

Don't forget the side stripes cost £100 a pair!!! Dealer supplied stripes are £151. So more reason not to get bored with them!!

If you want a more cost effective solution for vehcile grapghics in the Bristol area give me an e-mail at Bristol@signsexpress.co.uk . Fiat dealers don't employ sign makers; they sub-contract vehicle graphics to companys such as mine!
