Nice looking car buddy, howd you remove the side strips with what it looks like only a heat gun?

i like the rims, they really do set the car off, just need to paint those calipers for an extra 25kw

Did you have any trouble getting the 20's too fit ? I was considering it coz a mate has some for cheap but i was unsure if they'd rub or not aye ?

Haha they're a pain to get off.. One side of the car i just used a hairdryer to heat em up, used fishing wire behind the strips and cut into the glue to get em off. Then scratched the glue and stuff off with a hard piece of plastic, using some kind of polish as well.

That took me like 7 hours to do, so i thought screw this and i went and bought a caramel wheel. Its like a rubber wheel that you put on the end of a drill, so i did everything the same except for the other side of the car i used the caramel wheel to get the glue crap off which took me like 30 mins?

Re to Nvs-Vs-s: Naah haven't scrubbed the guards at all and i even got my car lowered more, still don't scrub. Shud be fine.

Yeah it might a little, i didn't notice any change in mine tho. Just don't leave it in one spot for too long it heats up pretty quick haha
