Effects Of Removing Factory Fitted Stripe Kits

hey everyone,

I've got a 2006 BF2 XR6 sedan in octane with black stripes fitted by ford, I'm assuming at the time of manufacturer or fitted at the dealer etc.

Im just wanting to know, from personal experience of others, not personal opinions, if theres going to be any downside to removing the stripes? am I going to see a really obvious colour difference e.g old paint and new paint underneath the stripe area. Im very fussy and although I do want to get the stripes removed, if theres going to be any sort of colour variation than id rather just leave it as is.

Cheers

There is definate possibility the colour will be different.

How good is the paint? Kept inside, outside?

When we pull decals off cars at work when we have to paint something, you can see a difference at times, not all the time, you won't know until you do it sorry.

Overall very good,few stone chips here and there but definitely lots of life left in the paint. Hmmm maybe I should lift one corner and compare. Ive met someone who did the exact same to his car, except his was red. Both 2006 BF mk2's.

cant agree- just leave stripes to the cars that have them standard from the factory- gs/ gt etc.
