Heat gun to 'melt' the larger peices and scrub off with eucalyptus oil. Use some cut and polish and wax to finish it off.

[dori34]

crap thing about r34 with the nismo wing (atila or watever its called) is when you take it off, it leaves a million holes.. looks like you were hit with a drive by shooting haha

you can use metho spirits or general purpose thinners to help take it off as well

[Oddy man]

Go the heat gun and eucalyptus oil

It's gentler than thinners and wont cloud your paint

a cut/polish afterwards is essential

about the holes, your only lasting option is to spot weld them then bog/paint

careful though, welders like to buckle panels

[POLICE]

it's like cum stain, you'll never get rid of it completely

[Greekos]

cameral wheel, its a rubber wheel that attaches to a drill and removes all glues, stickers, and the like without damage to paint. they can be bought at panel beaters supplier's. just remember not hold the wheel in one spot as it will burn your paint

I find Prepsol works wonders for any kind of wax/grease removal. I always make sure I have a tin in teh garage.

+1

prepwash/wax and grease remover with a rag, let it soak a bit before rubbing off. when iv de-badged a car i find it works.

hah, where i came from we just used a razor blade, and when it got tricky, a razor blade and injector cleaner

[R-SPEC]

lol

so i used a heat gun today, got rid of all the shit

and burnt the bootlid

[Owgasm]

lol badluck.

So glad i never bolted the wing on the guards.

What are you gonna do about all the black dots?

[R-SPEC]

i'm getting red vinyl to match the car colour and cover those areas and get rid of the rubber grommets.

till i can go in for a respray, dont see the point in filling the holes now and spraying half the car. not worth it imo

Oh shit! Bad luck man.

Any pics?

[Granthem]

looks like its driven through Baghdad lol

[Yidz]

Prepsol..

That is all

[R-SPEC]

Oh shit! Bad luck man.

Any pics?

cant see the burnt marks in shit fone camera

looks like its driven through Baghdad lol

so instead of having black spots i know have red ones. bit less noticeable i guess...

[Granthem]

haha cool. Hey could you take a pic of your LED lights at night when they are on and when the brakes are on?.

i really want to see what they light up like

Looks alot better, lol go the red tape!!!! (im not laughing at you, mine has silver duct tape to match mine )

[Dragonforce]

Yeah mate that looks so much better with the tape

Any idea how much its gonna cost to get em filled and painted when u get around to it?

[Granthem]

still cant believe nissan would drill that many holes to fit the ugliest spoiler in the universe

[R-SPEC]

Dragonforce - i got quoted by DT Panels here in vic about $350 for each side (coz the car is red they would've needed to blend the colour over to the doors aswell) + $250 for the bootlid

i'm sure if you look around you can get it a bit cheaper. maybe around the $500 mark.

but if you ask me its not worth it, which is why i'm gonna wait it out till i can go in for a full respray. dont see the point in fixing the holes now and spraying only half the car...

Granthem - did you have the wing too?

this is the only pic i got of the lights at night. while in park, still dunno which ones light up when braking etc lol
