you can make a real mess out of this but somehow i managed it, just do it slowly so you dont peel the paint off. the biggest problm is that you paint will look all differnt shades where the new paint has been covered by the strips. a good dose of t-cut clears that up ok tho, and u couldnt tell mine had them on now. just give it a go. cheap mods need a bit of guts, mainly becos u do em urslef. i do all the mods with my fella on the car, it rarely goes inot the garage, and its better that way. (somehow)
so basically just go for it.
go down the local market for a reduced price stereo. if u live near the midlands, go to wellesbourne market, MASSIVE reductions there. good luck mate
