Mtb154 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Has anyone removed one of these?? I think the car will look better without it but wondered how its attatched and will the bumper be painted underneath?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 they are normaly stuck on after so should be painted under it I'd be tempted to Peel a bit off from say under where the boot shuts some where that is out site anyway just to be safe :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'd have some cash available to get bumper re sprayed if you did. The laquer on mine isnt very thick and is peeling a bit where the bumper steps down slightly. Is it on a sg foz ? I was gollowing one the other day in town and saw it had the protector on thought it looked quite good. Was thinking if one would fit mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 tricks getting it off with heat to try not damage it but Stanton's right worth being prepared. also might have colour disfigurements with it being weather protected. but that's why I would try a bit out of site 1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 you're welcome mate. let us know what you choose to do. oh and wd40 is great to remove the glue if you do it and it all comes off OK :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtb154 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 I suppose if I take it off and it looks bad I can always stick it back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I would say you will need to buy another one as it will stretch rip and be a mess taking the old one off , if it does pull the lacquer off like Stanton500 said it could it would leave marks even if you try to cover it with a new one :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 It geta quite a bit of hammer being low i thought i'd just lift stuff in and out but when putting shopping and what not in always rest on that bit before reaching into the depths of the boot. i recon it would be a worthwile investment if i still had a dog keeps the rear end looking fresh. dog + wet car is always a dangerous combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Ha ha, my dog is nearly 14 and cant get in a car anymore and to heavey to lift that high. Haha my folks bought a folding ramp for thier collie when he got to old to climb in. Looked a right tit as he hated it. I bet all the other dogs used to laugh at him. If i was taking him anywhere i'd just launch him in the back save him the indignity of using it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
