Ep91 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Can anyone explain to me how to get the side strips off my 91, Dankyou pleashe! Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 use a heat gun or hairdryer on the edges n then work into the middle and peel off, simple as be careful tho because the paint can crack so go slooowly Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Or (next summer) leave the car out in direct sunlight for a few hours. Worked a treat for my mate. After you've done that side turn it around. Link to post Share on other sites
Shaun Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 just hope they have not sprayed the sides and mask around the strips as you will havt 2 get it sprayed Link to post Share on other sites
starletno1fan Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 i used a hairdryer on 1 side which worked good n the other side was in sunlight so it just peeled off easily. But peel it slowly incase it rips your paint off.I also used petrol to remove the sticky adhesive underneath the strip.But shaun: why do you need to spray it afterwards?

Shaun Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 i dident say that i sad just hope the pannel hasent been sprayed before as they proberly mask around the strips so when you take them of you will have a fat paint line. Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 i had to paint mine, because some of the paint peeled off Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Shaun is right, thats exactly why mine cant come off, because they've been masked and the panels resprayed, meanin there's about 2 coats of laquer less under the strips. Remoin them would need the panels resprayed, hence i'm gonna be different and colour code mine. :angry: Phil. Link to post Share on other sites
ian Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 just hope they have not sprayed the sides and mask around the strips as you will havt 2 get it sprayed<{POST_SNAPBACK}>exactly the problem i found on mine! its amazing how much a difference it makes to the car..... i found rubbing the glue residue left with autoglym tar remover made taking the glue easy to rub off!
