I'm helping my little bro remove his viper stripes as they have gone a funny colour and just look crap but they keep braking apart and it is starting to do my nut in any tips or advice would be most appreciated

Thanks

I used a hair dryer to remove my stripes... I used the hottest setting and once warm, peeled off fairly easily... (even after being fitted 4 years)

Yes you need heat, don't try pulling them without otherwise you may lose paint if they've been on the car for a while.

You will need to do a bit of polishing / claying and clean up the paint after they are off too as they will have left their mark... mine took a couple of months of cleaning before the marks had completely gone...
