Ok, Im looking to buy a Fiesta ST. Im looking for a white one.
However Ive been looking around and most white ST's have the blue Stripes on them.
If i was to buy one, can the stripes be taken off without leaving any marks? Thanks

I've not done it myself, but stripes can be removed pretty easily, I'm sure a fair few have done it without any issues.

Okay great. Just because it's so hard to fine a plain white Fiesta ST, would make things easier to buy one with stripes, Then just remove them

I took the side ones off mine, easy peasy.

Heat the stripes gently to loosen the adhesive, peel off then remove the residue from the adhesive with t-cut or petrol then polish paint up.

I took mine off about a year after buying the car new ... left it out in the sun for a few hours to heat the stripes up then peeled them off slowly without too much trouble .. cleaned off any left over glue residue with a bit of white spirit on a clean soft rag, easy as.

Just make sure you give the car a good wash and wax afterwards.
