you dont need warm water bud or a warm day, hairdryer and a touch of bug and tar remover after you have peeled them off (£1 shop) the longer you leave them on there, the longer the paint will be a mismatch.
(If you were closer id do them for you tonight, did Grahams few weeks back)

I totally agree re debadging, loose all sticlers and badges,

Personally i like your lights now I have edited the pic, deffo dont do black, will look chavvy, full red if you have too and want a change.

also just my opinion of course, wheels refurbed to light anthracite......

After all this it will look simmilar to the new Cosworth version, which aint a bad thing
