May even decide to get them painted instead..Just wanting to know how to get them off !?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about trying to find a replacement centre section instead of a full bumper swap if they were interchangable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 21/04/11 11:31 PM Share Posted 21/04/11 11:31 PM I use white spirits and leave it in the sun for five minutes then hit it with the gurney. A quick hit with silicone spray and you cant see the wax. Still the best way is to mask them up before you wax it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
