Just to make me happy again...

1. There's a blind spot mirror thing stuck on the driver's mirror which i can't get off... Anyone have any ideas to get off? I hate it.

2. There's corrosion on the casing round one of the rear lights (which i guess you can take out) Am i best painting over it lightly? (Which i dont really want to do) or replacing it with a new yellow one?

3. Instead of Fiat it says "Coupe" on the back how do I get that off without any damage so i can put "Fiat" back on it?

4. Both front and rear bumpers are fading but slowly coming up with some very long time consuming elbow grease (but not that great) polishing but I've just not got the patience to do it. Anyone know any quick ways to bring them back to shine or anyone good who can do it for me?

5. I want a new radio, anyone know any good ones?

6. THINKING of maybe having a sub (only for when i'm doing my good motor way miles) but not sure how easy it is to fix and whether it'll be a good idea or just ruin the interior of the car?

If anyone could help with any of the above would be very appreciated!

... its all cosmetics i need to do to the car now! (Touch wood)

1 & 3. A bit of fishing line is ideal for slicing through the adhesive backing paper, then use neat petrol to clean off the rest.

2. You can only remove the cups with loads of effort and hassle. Get a body shop to sort the corrosion.

4. Farecla, G3 to start, followed by G10, then wax. Or, see 2. above

5. Post in the ICE section, better yet, do a search in that section.

6. See 5. above.

Sorted.....

Cheers me 'ld fruit!

You smooth talker!

Why are you doing No. 3? I've done the reverse of that twice now, the Fiat badge is so naff but that Coupe badge (from the Megane) is so much nicer!

i used a clay bar on my vectra after de-badging it and it came up great

Because i'm really fussy about having things 100% standard! Besides a change of radio!
