Is that for all 3 stickers ... Sounds about right mate, the originals are loads of cash

Originals are expensive, Image Works decals are top notch and if you're nearby they'll fit them for you. Had cheap stuff before and they don't last very well.

With this kind of thing in mind, what's the best way to get the old ones off? The missus' Hair dyer on warm and lots of patience?

I had hell and more getting mine off. Tried the Mrs hair dryer, it leaves loads of adhesive behind that took ages to get off. (acitione, white spirit and meths finally got it off with a rough cloth)

I found best bet was to 'loosen' a corner with the hair dryer then a bit of patience and a thumbnail then a wipe down with solvent worked best.

Its a bugger because just as you think your doing well and start to make progress you pull to hard and snap the decal and have to start over.

If your fitting the new ones yourself, a drop of water and fairy liquid gives you time to position and push the bubbles out then nick the mrs hair dryer again and gently blow warm air till it sets.

Good luck, it takes twice as long you think

Cheers for that. Won't be doing it for a while but good to know for when I can afford to get some new vinyls.
