Well having had the S and loved it to bits for a whole two weeks, i feel a change is in order .......























No I haven't gone mad and sold it already I just want to change the appearance, so a removeal of the windsheld tape is in order

So is it just a case of warm tape with hairdryer and pull or is it a bit more delicate

I fancy doing this in about 10 minutes time (while i still have this warm fussy glow ) so any prompt replies would be greatly appreciated

Cheers gents

Be very careful. Try a small bit first. I've heard stories of the colour underneath not being the same colour as the rest of the car.

AAAaaaaRRRRGGHHhhh noo

Ade please tell me it isn't true, please tell me there's lovely colourmatched paintwork under there and not a hedious missmatchmess

I doubt that will be the case on Pie's car though Ade, being the former Tif Mobile The paintwork is near perfect i reckon

Cheers AE, eye tis right ladd she's a beaut

The seed of doubt has been planted(thanx Ade) so i might give it a miss, until i regain my composure

As I understand it, it's not so much that the paintwork won't be the same, P'n'C, just that there's a possibility that it might not be up to quite the same high standard as everywhere else - little chips and imperfections. A lot of people have done it and been very happy with the result - I for one think the car looks much better sans tape.

10 mins with a bit of polish when you've done it (or T-Cut or ScratchX, worse case scenario) and I'm sure it will be top banana

ooohh, I'm tempted again. I know it will look a LOT better without the tape, but there is that small risk that it will look like Roadie's wheel arches

lol, I always fancied doing this myself Pie, I'll be fascinated to see the end result (and probably kick myself for not doing it years ago )

Say Hi to the S2000 for me! I hope to bump into you at an upcoming meet

Leave the tape on. Original old school black.
