lupodave Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Pimp My Ride would be proud of that transformation. Must have taken ages to graft Lupo panels onto an AX.

loopy_lass Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 well well well, i'm not a happy bunny style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> i thought today i would spend my afternoon getting the bump strips off! so i began the dreaded journey on the drivers side back as i thought that was the side that was faded...however removed the strip and no colour difference so i was chuffed! then moved to the passenger side back to see if that was ok too before missioning on with the door ones...omg what a disaster! the strip came off like a dream yet a was left with the discovery that it was this side that was a different colour and that it has been re-sprayed but with the bump strips on style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> (could tell this from a paint run discovered on the inside of the door) i'm gutted, it was looking so good...yet now so far!!so, anyone know the best way to put them back on? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunalupi Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 (edited) Straighten them out as best you can, and stick them back with some trim repair tape (you can pick it up in halfords). Its like double sided sticky foam style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />There are a few people with spare strips around - I think Devon might have some yellow ones - if yours are too badly damaged from removing them.edited to add: I had exactly the same problem on mine - its so annoying after all the work you put in to get them off!!
