I could ask this elsewhere but I like us V35 people better :P

I have a sticker on my rear bumper which came on the car from Japan. I want to remove it. I have tried to pick it off to no avail (just keeps breaking away in 1mm flecks).

What should I use to help get it off?

Try warming it up using a hairdryer to soften the adhesive.

you could also try soaking it in some metho or something

place a sponge on the sticker and soak it with metho and leave for a while for it to soak

Um- perhpas wax and grease remover - rather than Metho- Metho might dry it out tooo much.

Heat it up (hair dryer or heat gun)- do it in the sun. Continually rub wax and grease remover over it- and grow some finger nails. There is no quick way about it.

Same as debadging the car and taking off the old residue.

this has become slightly moot - some c*nt backed into my car whilst parked at my girlfriends over night. Will need to respray the bumper anyway :S

Regardless of the the respray and for the future, 3M makes a great adhesive cleaner.

Works great, spray on leave wipe off. Never damaged anything that i know of, but might be best to test on some surfaces.

It is a bit like this US version, sorry can not find Oz type.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
