GTIChris Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 People remove them, dental floss, tar remover and elbow grease is the best combination i think 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jadelauren Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Elbow grease is a understatement! Wanna grab yourself a old credit card or something similair and use that for some extra encouragement Just be careful and not to go too reckless with the credit card as it can scratch the paintwork as I found out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackRobo10 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Just be careful and not to go too reckless with the credit card as it can scratch the paintwork as I found outYeah that is true!

Fretwell Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I used plastic coated washing line . Hair dryer . And buy a bottle of PVC convent cleaner from a window place . **** elbow grease you need far too much of that to do it without a strong product to dissolve the glue on the tape holding the strips on . The PVC solvent cleaner just softens and jellyfys the tape . Also I used a plastic ice scraper better edge and easier to work with than credit card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Because it'd look rubbish without them, and they actually add some protection :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juude Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 For a cleaner look, I don't think they do much anyway on the side of dinks, most cars are taller than Lupos so they just hit the door higher.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said . If I was going to a busy car park id park far away as possible some inconsiderate fannies will open the door and put a nice fold in the lupos lines and as he said it will be above the bump strip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
