Andyhealy96 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Ok so I brought a lupo I have to pick it up the weekend and as soon as I get it back I will clean it I'm thinking about taking the bump strips off but I know the car has had a full repaint (worst repaint ever) so if I remove them can I put them back on easy enough if the colour is shagged like the rest of the car, The lupo is going to be painted as I work in a body shop but not for a month or two so leave it and wait with grandad strips on it or take the risk?

HJLUPO Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 If it was me m8 , I would take the risk cause at the end of the day your gonna be reprinting it anyway , but if wanted to put the bump strips on I would use the double sided numberplate tape !!

AJB-09 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Leave them on till you give it a full hit, then when it goes back together without them it will be more of an visual impact IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Leave them on until you come to repaint it.Take them off when you respray and leave them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigplum Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Some punctuation would help your posts , I'm finding it hard to understand what your sayingSo you work in a bodyshop but are not sure if the body mouldings come off? , Or not sure how they come off , or not sure if they can go back on ?to remove get a heat gun and gently warm them to remove, a space heater directed at them would work too, sometimes the mouldings will deform / stretch and not be useable, any traces of the adhesive will need to be removed .Surely the guys in the body shop will help though?
