I've been thinking about doing the sticker bombing to the frames as well and it got me wondering... Will they peel off when it gets super hot?? It gets up to 50-60 degrees in my car sometimes during summer when it's been out in the sun all day..

Not sure if there is any logic behind my reasoning but it's just a thought...

Easy done, there's a gap underneath it where you can fit a flat blade screwdriver in, push it all the way up then pull...once you get the first lot of clips off it's easy lol

so the weekend i got busy on the car..
- picked up my new plates
- sticker bombed the headunit surrond and a pillars. put 2 coats of clear coat just on the headunit surrond. thinking ill do a few more on the surrond and the a pillars cause it came up quite nice
- put white parkers in
- painted the smurfy badge. i was going to put that in the spot of the 323 astina badge cause it looks crappyy back, took it off and the paint under it was ****house! so im gonna keep it on and either put it on under it or untop.
