I was the same, couldnt bring myself to do it. I must say once they are off you will wish you had done it 6 months ago!

£5 tesco hair dryer and 30mins for the boot / bonnet
Just the roof to tackle now!

Looks heaps better without the stripes .. I waited 12 months before taking mine off, so glad I did.

I personally prefer it with the stripes, but you've still done good job of cleaning it up afterwards.

I love the white ST's, but I think the blue OTT stripes look a bit naff, Side stripes all the way. However, I own a performance blue ST and love mine with the full stripes!

Updated:!

So yesterday i was up bright an early, 9am to get the stripes off, which took all of an hour to do the roof, mainly because of the difficulty getting to them!

I love it wish i had done it 6 months ago. Then i had a helping hand from a mate who decided to pop along in his ZS.

I had ALOT of baked on brake dust which he kindly demolished with some bilburry whilst i clayed the bonnet boot and roof to remove any further marks around where the stripes were.

Suprisinly there were no patches of glue at all!... well not that i noticed anyway. I will puirchase some tar remover mid week and have a blast next weekend but im pretty happy with the results. Apparently i need to head over to clean your car for some products so there goes £80 minumum!

I gave it a polish and wax and went a bit snap happy. enjoy



Ahh get him cleaning! He deserved that subway!



Dont worry that pad had already been used! in the wash it goes
