Hi, im looking at removing these roof plastic strips and sanding them back as there is old polish stuck in there and is annoying as hell. makes the car look tacky. May even decide to get them painted instead..

thommo, my painter removed them, sanded them smooth, painted them, then refitted them for $150+GST

it's easier to let the painters do the hard work when it comes down to probably an $80 difference :)

I knew you would be the one to reply haha. that's reasonably priced, is that because your had alot of stuff done there or just good pricing ?

give me the details if that's the case ill get that done and a boot lid soon.

btw did you do the f6 rear bumper ? I was thinking about trying to find a replacement centre section instead of a full bumper swap if they were interchangable

not interchangable, the FPV one is 1 piece, the XR is 2 piece. :(

I use white spirits and leave it in the sun for five minutes then hit it with the gurney. A quick hit with silicone spray and you cant see the wax. Still the best way is to mask them up before you wax it.
