Quick question, before i go ripping things off, lol, is it just glued on with paint underneath or are there pin holes to fill and paint?!

i used petrol and spirit and a old card card worked a treat.  mine left a few marks but nothing a good polish and cut would sort out

I took the bump strips off my first Corsa and they just came off  They did leave a line where the paint underneath was dull but a couple of weekends t-cutting and it came up alright!

it's easy to take them off.... the marks left can be removed by t-cut but be careful if u have lacquered paint - i got a mate's dad to mop my car instead:
the milky effect underneath:
mopping:
afterwards:
just be careful if u use a caramel wheel or u get this lovely effect, which can only be fixed via a respray:

I have the same colour as yours..except its a sport not an SXI..
So just buff it all up afterwards and it'll be fine?
Where did you get your Irmy grille..I want one, sell me yours for cheap

u've got a black one?
yes, buffing it up shud work with soem t-cut but i was advised not to use it as it strips the lacquer.... autoglym paint renovator and super resin didn't work but the cutting compound's used did so ideally u wanna find a garage to 'mop' it afterwards - shud only be 20-40 quid at most...
Irmscher grille was straight from vauxhall and it will be coming off but not till next year, thats when i'm doing the overhaul on my chariot
oh yeah u can use a caramel wheel if u do it slow - mine was jsut cos i rushed it and first time but second time i knew how to do it so Rus off here's had his done by me and they came off in about 10mins and look perfect after we got it mopped
