try warming up the stripes with a hair dryer and peeling slowly.

Im slightly bored and worried that if they stay on for much longer that they may ruin the paintwork [}]

Might have paint fade! I would leave them on just in case or you might have brighter yellow paintwork where the stripes were.[xx(]




Speedbumps are my arch enemys!!!

There must be a solvent out there which will soften the adhesive without taking the paint off. Possibly -

Tar remover
White spirit

T-cut, T-cut, T-cut.... bugger! through to the undercoat.

Take care.

I agree with Dawn, try with a hairdryer first. Tar remover or similar should then get rid of any remaining adhesive.

Yellow T-Cut may be required to blend in the fade, but don't get carried away or you'll end up doing the whole car.

Oh, just an afterthought... Don't try pulling them off when the car body is cold or you may end up with more paint on the stripes than the car. A hairdryer may be a good idea no matter what other method you use.

85% of Marea HLX drivers have speeding tickets.... lol they'll have to catch me first.

Hey guys...ive done it and its all fine...

Did get some residue on the paint but i got rid of it all with Cif [:0] had to clean the car pretty quickly after to make sure there was no paint damage.....sniff...it looks so boring now but at least i caught it in time before the paint started to fade!!
