   driving up to trax sunday and theres a couple of things i want to quickly do.
   
   1. rip off that stupid-ass sunstrip with saxo written on it (i know what fucking car im driving)
   
   2. i want to get some gti mirrors because mine are black plastic. problem is my car is poseidon blue.
   
   won't have time to spray them and only have shitty rattle cans anyway, any suggestions?

   1. stanley blade should get the sun strip off easy mate.
   
   2. dont rush mods, clearly not going to have time to do it in time for Trax so just wait and do it when you get back, then upload pics
   
   3. if you fail at both, stanley blade across the wrists work too. (im jokin kids, dont do this. Everyone knows its up the highway not across the road)

   Plenty of hot water on the sunstrip then use a de-icer scraper just make you keep it wet otherwise it will scratch your windscreen.

   ive had to take off a few sunstrips before, trust me use a hair dryer to heat up the glue in between the windscreen and the sunstrip.
   start to peel of the sunstrip slowly, if its done to fast glue will be left over on the window and it takes a while to get it all off!
   hope this helps mate!

   Posi blue mirror caps, and use a hairdryer to heat the sun strip up, then autoglym intensive tar remover to get all the stickly crap off

    A hairdyer will help get the sunstrip alot easyer or park your car in the sun if you havent got one.To get the glue off petrol or white spirt will make it easy work.
