Aus. ™ Posted 01/01/09 07:49 AM Share Posted 01/01/09 07:49 AM I don't like the colour of the stripes . Some stripes make a car look awesome my brother has orange on his silver xr8 looks pretty mad. With the removing I have key scratch proof stickers around the locks on my hard lid Ralph suggested some oil. But is there any other method? The sun is making them a poo green colour they were clear once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
