Hi mate,

Nice looking ute! Id be proud of that.

Just a question, was it hard work taking the red strips off the front bumper. I have the same and am contemplating taking mine off however it looks like alot of work. Any advice???

the strip on the front bar was easy, the side stripes are the pain with the stika flex on it. but the is a HOW TO section it is in there.
good luck with the stripes if you pull them off.
it takes some time
