Guys,

Before I sticker-up my p&j for the first time this year, can those of you who have done this before put my mind at rest that the paintwork (which is in A1 condition) will be unaffected when I take them off? I'm likely to be selling the car after Le Mans, so the last thing I need is blemished bodywork.

Many thanks.

You should be fine.

When you take them off, heat them up a bit with a hair dryer. You may need a polish or purchase some glue be gone but you will be fine.

Agree with above. I removed loads of stickers last year. I had a fan heater on my lap as I moved around the car. After the first one or two you will get a feel for when they're warm enough to pull away

Thanks chaps - my mind's already at ease. I guess the fact that nobody seems to declare stickering disasters is in itself proof that it'll be ok. But when it's your pride and joy......
