You're making me want a coupe mate. That looks mint.

I brought it mint, I intend for it to stay mint :-)

Went and picked up a few other items from vaux today.

Trim clips; one or two on mine have broken, I'm going to replace them all, waiting for the bushings to turn up before fitting.

And a Genuine Vauxhall Europa Blue Mica Touch Up pen #90544082 £5.90 :-)

I always found Saphire black touch up pen to be good.

I'm hoping this one is, where its going you won't see it, but for the piece of mind its been done.

Halfrauds don't even do my colour

You'd hope VX could at least make the colour match.

Halfords match isn't that bad. The Arden Blue one is pretty spot on, but the Prestige Blue of my old Astra was shite.

Just went out to fit my new boot badge, I took the old one off and it turns out the previous owner decided that super glue would be better! I really don't understand what goes through peoples heads :mad:!

[USER]evocarlos[/USER] what can I do? Lol

Matt

A good bug and tar remover should break it down Si

PowR_Remap

Hmm... really? I got AG Bug and Tar remover?

Matt

Yeah, give it a soak in that, and it should break down the super glue

Its actually turtle wax platinum bug and tar remover. Soaking now...

PowR_Remap

Didn't do anything :-(

Matt

any nail varnish remover to hand?

ben8719

3M adhesive cleanet will take it off.

Will these not damage the paint?

Matt

It will take the polish off, but what I'd do it apply it to a rag, and just hold the rag over the super glue to work on it. It should then turn to glupe, and you could then just remove it with your nails. I think that's what I ended up doing when I removed my badge that was stuck on.

Varnish remover or 3m adhesive cleaner?
