Hey, The previous owner had attempted to remove them on the drivers door and he scratched it to hell and back. He then put the project in the two hard basket, and pop riveted the strip back on :( I will need to respray the drivers door now. But other than that the only damage I got was where the double sided tape was, little tiny chip like things, you can't see it though unless your 2cm away from it :) After cutting the black crap away with a razor blade I found the caramel wheel to be my best friend.

Yeah I was a bit scared at first too and I think you will burn the paint off if you hold it on for too long. I found the caramel wheel worked much quicker by going up/down the door instead of across the door. if that makes sense :)

Hey everyone, de-greased my engine bay today and fixed a power steering fluid leak I had. I also bought a power window harness, reg's and door wiring from a girl wreaking her VY SV8. As my car doesn't have the wiring I need and I want front power windows in my car. I hope installing it wont be a huge headache though lol. any help anyone can give there would be much appreciated :)
