well im starting my project tommorow as i now can be arsed to do things to it instead of it sitting there
so pics will be up tommorow and my rs accessory spoiler came today for 15 pound posted

[craig123]

nothing done today as the wether was rubbish so if wethers better tommorow i will get cracking

[craig123]

let me knwo what u think eny ideas what else i should do to it
right got cracking on with it whn i got it it had 48,654 miles from new i brought it off a old women


the rear arch the only thing that was wrong with it



then got onto doing a temporary repair on the rear arch when i pass it will be sent to work for a new rear arch to be welded in


then made my first payment for something for it which had to be the fiestaturbo.com key ring


i then de wiperd the rear and got rid of the rear window washer


then i got my spiler which i offerd up


the de striped the side eny help on remove the guel

[craig123]

dont know why the pictures are so big eny help on making them smaller thanks

[DanFraser]

Pictures are fine mate. With the side strips, nail polish remover is supposed to help, along with gently warming them up.

[craig123]

cheers just reliased my computer was showing them up to be massive yh i might try that

[fezza89]

try fishing line along the glue from the strips

[Excursion]

Looks like a good base to start with. Get it full of cavity wax .

These are superb for removing resuide on bodywork:


They do it without scratching the paint.

[craig123]

got 1 of them at work might just borrow it

[knuckles]

if you go too mad with that tool it leaves burn marks on the paint.

gently does it with a drill. slow process but does come off.
or use petrol or white spirit on the glue to soften it then use a blunt fingernail to remove it. Hours of work and sore fingers too

[Ratspeed]

I used brake cleaner and a microfibre cloth. Came straight off

[Michael!]

hairdryer and an old credit card

[craig123]

i done ur way micheal but i used a heat gun and melted my card on my body not a good thing lol

[Michael!]
