  5. Thanks :-) I think the callipers are standard Brembo ones. I replaced the black decals with white ones....thought they look better :-)
     
  6. What did you use to take it off? Anything special? I'm scared of damaging paintwork lol.

  9. I used dental floss and I was scared too haha! :-) Warmed each letter up with a hairdryer first then just slid the floss behind and eased them off. Took the glue residue off with tar remover then a good Polish and wax. Dead easy!

  10. I just warmed up the letters with a hair dryer and then pulled the letters off with my hand. Easy
     
  11. Eddie, They are stuck on with what is basically double sided sticky pads. People talk about hair dryers and heat treatment etc but... I used dental floss (folded several times to stop it breaking) to cut between the letters and what was attached to the car. I then sprayed tar remover onto what was left stuck on the car, left it one minute, then just rubbed it of with a cloth (all done within 5 minutes) This may well be different if the car is years old, plus paint colour could be different with never having seen light on these bits, I am clueless and handles and it was easy even for me

  12. I just used a bank card to remove mine no heat just that
     
  13. Hairdryer and just pulled them off. Cleaned the residue with Autoglym tar and glue remover.
    From certain angles and light you can make out where the letters were.
    I think that's a combination of age and the car being black.

  14. Use a toffee wheel to remove the sticky stuff. 1 minute job
