Jacko2512 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I had a struggle looking around the forum to find a good guide on how to remove the side strips on my Lupo. I managed to gather enough info and do it but I thought it would benefit loads of people to have a photo guide (this is something you need to do to your lupo) so here goes You will need:Dental FlossHairdryerT-Cut and/or Body PolishRags/ClothsBug or Tar remover/CleanerLarge amounts of elbow grease and patience!First of all spray cleaner/bug remover behind the strips and allow to soak in. above and below strip to get all of adhesive tapeThen take tooth floss and pull behind skirt and using a sawing action move down the trim. TIP: take your time and try to get as close to body as possible as black sticky is a b**ch to get off!)Once tooth flossed off, pull away (should just fall off)You will be left with the blacks adhesive strips or hopefully parts of!Then allow to dry and heat up using hairdryer- use a rubbing motion whilst pressing hard to remove sticky tape. (BLISTERS WILL OCCUR!)Wipe away as much of the crap and take and muck as possible using rags and cleaner.There will be a little bit of residue left over so t-cut and/or polish to your hearts content!!!Wash all over as you would, get plasters for all of your fingers, then.... step back. admire!Hope this helps 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
