Go to your local car body painters/motor factors and ask for a toffee wheel. Saves faffing around scraping the double sided tape off, goes on the end of your drill, just like a big circular rubber. Smells like toffee when you use it :D

Only problem I encountered with using the wheel is that the drill got hot and I had to stop for a bit to let it cool and stop burning my hands :rolleyes: . You also, just like using a rubber, get bits of rubbed rubber everywhere. I won't post a pic of what I looked like after, or what the car looked like after for that matter, A. because I never took pics of that, B. because you'd all think I have a very bad case of brown dandruff and C. because my car would look like it's been powdercoated with brown stuff. It brushes off though so it's all good :D .

Looks like the mk2 just has double sided and not sikaflex type glue thats damn hard to get off and takes paint with it:bang: .
