Finally managed to get a hold of a bumper and bonnet, and got the coilovers and rs reps on. This is how it's looks just now.


The only bother I have is the bonnet I got had 2 stripes up the middle of it, which I managed to remove with some heat, but a lot of the glue has been left behind. Any pointers on how to remove it?

ive used olive oil before as well, thought it was ridiculous recommendation but it did work surprisingly.

Wheels look cool... Quite a lot of spokes to clean though, heh. thumbs

I took off my ST badge yesterday and tried kitchen cleaner, whiskey and WD40 to remove the glue, but after they failed, I ended up using white spirit.

None of them really worked other than the white spirit.
I think it was mainly due to me just pulling the badge off by hand which left loads of the backing foam behind so the solvents couldn't get to the actual glue.

Thanks for the advise. I eventually used petrol and it dissolved the glue right off.
