There are three adhesive strips (Top, Middle and Bottom) Running the length of the strips.

Are you sure you want them off?

I'd be surprised if hot water blistered yer paint - very surprised!

The heat of the sun on a summers day and the heat from yer engine will be about as hot as hot water and that dont blister (its baked on at the factory 400' !)

I used a scalpel to peel the corner by the front arch then very gently pulled it back nicking with a scalpel as I went. Dont just rip it off.

The remaining sticky foam, I used sticky stuff remover (3m from halfords).

Easy

and it got the badges off a treat :lol:

didnt touch the painbt work, just sent it pink from red

LMFAO

i had to use tcut to brting it back up but it was worth it cos the badges just fell off.

that was BOILING hot water from a kettle, on a winter day also, so it couldnt get any worse...................
