It took me ages,i just peeled them off really slow trying to get off as much glue as possible,then used a cheap glass foam
glass cleaner,it helped when i left it for a while.
I tried so many suggestions i had but non were great.

Sorry Edge,nothing to show,i'm getting fed up also as nothing is coming together,ive not even used it much
as there is no roof lining and everythings just hanging down.

Hopefully once the interior is done it will all start happening,I also have a little wow factor up my sleave while its being trimmed
i want to do.
It wont be cheap but hoping it will finish the interior off very nicely 8)

Sorry for the cloak and dagger i just want to unveil it in one hit with the interior,it wont be to evryones taste but
i hope i can pull it off :thumbs:
