My old S had Vipers which I got bored of, but I was too worried to remove them
for the same reasons as you

Hope it goes well

Try a local signmaker (the ones that put transfers on vans,) as they change them all the time. Look in Yell.co.uk

I've already booked it in with the mini garage and just gonna have to keep my fingers crossed i think.. I really hope it turns out ok... The strips have gone all horrible and stained and nothing will get them off!

Ma friend did it!
There could be marks,, as with any sticker but to be honest a bit of remover and a load of polish and it will be off. I think, is it petrol that removes it???
Something like that anyway!

But yes,,, My friend did it no problems!

Do you have the worry that forevermore your car will have imprints of viper stripes! haha
