Right ive got a bit of a dilemma. The Glanza Stickers were removed from under the rear windows by the owner in Japan. The 1 side it has left a kind of imprint in the actual paintwork. My dilemma is, Do i leave it and eventually get the paintworks sorted or do i get some stickers (original Glanza 1's) ? Im undecided what will look better. Totally Fresh and clean from stickers or not.

If no stickers then whats the best method for removing the 1's on the back ? Hot soapy water didnt help so maybe a gentle bit of hairdryer ?

Remember, Your helping the way my car looks so your input is much appreciated :mellow: And will also give you satisfaction that youve helped style my car too :)

Thanks all.

The 1 side is fine but the other it has actually marked/indented the paint so no amount of buffing/polishing etc will get rid of it :mellow: And the Back starlet 1 isnt in mint condition..

Still leave em there ya think ?

I took the starlet one off on the back looks nicer without it imo, and i used a heat gun to get the sticker off and then some thinners to get the sticky stuff off, give it a polish and it looked like it was never there! :mellow:

i just have the one sticker on the rear of the car, if it hadnt have come like that it would have ended up like that

subtle and simple...no messing

Thanks for the input guys.. Yea i was thinking of just leaving the Glanza Stickers on it too. So hairdryer on the starlet sticker it is. I was thinking either white or sliver stickers for the rear quarter. Im hoping to get some white alloys next month maybe.

In the immortal words of star trek "make it so" :mellow:

HID kit was simple to install.. 2 Earth wires (1 for each bulb) and a power str8 to the battery. Then Plug the female bulb socket into any 1 of your original bulb plugs. Hardest part was mounting the ballast etc.

Ahh i see.. It dont look nothing special that EP82 to be honest. Could well be him tho.

Yes im not fussed on the wheels myself either.. I want a set of Inovit STVI in white. So thats another thing on the endless list. :ph34r:
