Aero kit bumper stickers.

Hello everyone. One simple question. I have purchased a new set of stickers that are mesh look alike for the aero kit rear bumper you know that are left and right from the exhaust.

I have tried to take off the old ones, but are very strong sticked on. Do you have any recommendation how to remove these stickers and does it have a high level of difficulty so i will take the car to a sticker specialist or can i do it myself.

Also do i put extra glue on the sticker? or i stick them on as they are. Thanks

Just reiterating what Harrop has said really but they should come off if you apply some heat, mine did anyway

I took mine off, applied some heat using a hairdryer then peeled the edge back Pulled the rest off quite easily then and mine were on there for over a year

You could also try a product called De-Solvit - its a citrus-y based product, doesn't damage paint at all, and neutralises the stickyness... I've used it (and got someone else to) use it with no worries on the Aero stickers.

Chill out. I removed mine last week, just pull them off with ure hand, and a knife to ease them off if needed

Takes a total of 2mins!

Remember some will come off easily, some will be much more difficult. It's the way it goes.

And then you've also got the leftover glue to deal with - the Desolvit does wonders on that
