I think I might remove the go faster stripes that I had put on last year. They haven't made the car go faster but I don't think I'll get my money back trying that one on. I'll probably speak to the guys at Snetts that put them on for some advice, but just wondering if anyone has any good tips about stripe removal smile ta, Chilli

Warm up with a hair drier and pull 'em off nice and slowly.

It took less then an hour with a hot air gun to remove mine.

I'll probably stripe the blue car once I've finished spannering!

What's the next upgrade move Richard?

As has been stated, heat is your friend. The below happened a couple of years ago after a trip to Le Mans where I'd put some stripes on. I left the car in the sun for a few hours and thought that would be enough (no access to a hair dryer or heat gun) frown

If you have any residue left after, auto smart tardis is brilliant at getting it off!

More grip I think Peter... If only FI was a simple bolt on.... I like the idea of ITB's, but the imminent house move, daughters wedding, and a looming chassis refurb make it hard to justify dosh on more power frown
