I did this removing vinyls, cos i hated them. Managed every other panel fine, but this f**ked up. lol

I am after Old english white (8177) or snowball white (8341)

Any links or shops recieved v.greatfully.

[Stuart]

surely like black, white is white (if you get my drift)

[Jordi]

i was thinking that, but wud prefer an exact match. I'll just buy 1 tomorrow n see wot its like. But if i can find anywhere stocking the paint, it cud be v.handy

Looks like that wing has been sprayed on the cheap in the past hense why the paint has pulled off the primer when the sticker came off.
:o

[Jordi]

anyone know how to remove the glue stuff, without removing paint.

Hot water n sponge is taking hrs of manuel work. any ideas?

[Gazza14SR]

I used thinners on my SR with a heat gun.

The thinnners didnt ruin the paint either which i was pleased about.

Go to a car accessory shop and buy tar and gum remover.

[XZiBiT]

halfords sell that too

[Mark]

I'm gonna asume that's because Halfords is a car accessory shop :wink: :lol:

How long have you been into Mini's Jordi?

[Jordi]

years, but my dad wud only just buy me 1 with me turning 17 in 9 days. Just one of them cars, i wanted as my 1st car. I know its not great on proformance or looks (atm) but looks will change as i work on it. Its a car which anyone can style to there own personality.

If i worked, i wudda had one n sold it on, good market for em out there.

[Jordi]

[Mark]

[Mark]

I do like the clubman's best.

[Jordi]

i prefer saloon fronts, but theres a nice clubman in this months mini world mag with some vauxhall engine parts.

[Mark]

[Jordi]
