Joe Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Heat them up with a hairdryer or heatgun, and get some dental floss behind them. You'll need to get some bug remover or similar to get of the sticky crap left on the doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 hot water will also soften the glue too, just boil a kettle though as mentioned peel it back a bit and check that all the paint matches underneath before you take them all off and realise you're left with stripes that don't quite match.

LoopyLing Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 If it's for a Punto make sure they're not pegged on aswell! Lupos are just stuck on btw... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 If it's a mk2 Punto then the side strips are just stuck on as well, no pegs.Factory HGT Abarth?The factory ones only came in black or yellow, and you can tell them apart from the optional extra-fitted abarth kits because the two side grills in the front bumper are solid, not mesh.Dunno if you already know that, just wanted to flash a bit of my Punto knowledge. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
