Hi I am thinking of striping the boot to see what it looks like, how do I remove stripes that are only a few days old.

Use a hair dryer to soften the vinyl with a little heat.

Stripes should be easy to remove if only a couple of days old - be careful if paintwork is new.

I can not believe you have made 3 threads about stripes, all of the questions you are asking could have been put into one thread. Also have you tried the search function? There are pleanty of threads about stripes, you will get tons of information.

Hello, another frustrated policeman, cannot is one word and I cannot believe you wasted your time on this comment. Why should the number of posts I make be any fxxxing concern of yours.If we all relied on the search function it would not be a Forum. I still labour under the belief that this Forum is friendly,don't come any garbage about me taking up space because that's exactly what you have done.

You should have more common sense mate, any normal forum member would have searched this topic before posting up a new thread, or in your case several threads. :roll:

All of the questions you are asking have been covered several times here, it almost seems like you are just too lazy to research up on the topic. If you are too lazy to search the forums, then I really cant see you getting around to striping your car yourself.

It took me 2 minutes to find these threads on striping.

Well bully for you,think about this.There hasn't been a question that has not been posted or answered before,so why not just have a search function and make posting redundant. I don't use the search because the idea of a Forum,look it up, is to open up dialogue,which I intend to continue

Overdrawn,
Behave. A forum is to share information. If the info already exists it is a common courtesy to do a search, and not have the forum members re-supply all the info again.
You will notice few responses to your thread as there is plenty of info on striping which would date back to the creation of the NA. Forum members will not keep responding to questions asked multiple times.
People who are too lazy to search are too self-centred, as they think their question is unique and important. When in fact it does not even rate.

Ryan - don't waste you time with this guy, he is a troll and i'm pretty sure he does this sort of thing just to wind people up. this is not the first time he's started redundant threads on topics that have been done to death, deliberatley posted things in wrong sections etc etc, and then attacked people for pointing it out to him.

i've had him on my "ignore" list since he attacked me several times for no apparent reason, including a barage of aggresive private messages . trust me, just put him on "ignore" and get on with your life.
