   Hi everyone had my vtr for over a year now but not done anything apart from getting it to run right, so now its time to start sorting other bits.
   
   Basically the guy that had the car before me had lexus lights on it which came off the same day (cant stand lexus lights) and they were the non reflector ones so he stuck reflectors on the rear bumper paint work. Was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how i can take them off without damaging the paint or lacquer?
   
   Thanks Dan

   Can't really see if there stuck on or screwed too. Best bed is to use some heat then some fishing line behind it to cut through the glue.

   Sorry my mistake, they are stuck on with thin foam backing. Thanks for the idea, will give it a whirl when it stops raining

   Get a hairdryer set it on a low heat you may get them off that way mate.
