Mattwilko92 Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) Gave her a good clean today and put stickers on.Next mods will be to remove bump stripes and stereo. I bet everyone is always asking this, but is there anything nasty underneath the stripes? or are they just glued on?Also tell me what you think of the sticker, im a bit unsure about it 7Thanks Edited April 12, 2008 by Mattwilko92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathhead Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Bump strips are just glued on. Just be careful taking them off and dont pull them. Cut the glue behind them with some fishing line. Common problems are doors being resprayed and leaving lacquer lines, paint fade, strips having been superglued back on at some point. My passenger door had been resprayed and thats why mine are still on, although over time ive grown to not mind them and have saved my doors a few times with ignorant people swinging doors open, so they may stay on.

Jowey Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 yeh make sure its not been glued previously .. i knew mine had been glued and wasnt going to remove themseller told me that another previous owner had glued the side strips on .. however i think it was a lie because after having it for about 3 weeks i came out one day to find the side strip hanging off.. and the drivers side has paint fade lolif the car has been garaged since new .. so hasn't seen prolonged sunlight.. and has been owned by people that wouldnt have removed the strips previously for whatever reason then go for it but if it goes wrong then you will be joining the club of failures .... failure is progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
