cutler Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Hello, Ive removed the bump strips off my Arosa and one side i am left with a bleached white line that looks like its in the lacquer, ive tried numeous things and it isnt coming off. Garage by me said the only option they can think of is a respray. I havent got the funds to do this, so has anyone got any ideas what i could do to cover this line, as i dont really want to put the standard bump strips back on. Thanks a lotMatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
