Use bug and tar remover to remove excess glue

clay bar should be fine to clean it nicely.

WD40 works a treat too...lots of elbow grease involved.

Or just park your car in the sun on a hot summers day then remove it with floss in the arvo :p

I did mine a few weeks ago and it took aaaagggess. I tried hairdryer but my car was parked under a carport so the hair dryer had minimal affect.

nar i like the chrome, and my windows are tint, so i look pimp.

i was thinkin about getting sum gas srpings so i can put it up and down, dont know the price though.

what would be the cheapest to lower it?

cheapest just low springs ---> will result in you having blown shocks

airbags speak with kitbkk should be about 6k+

reliable and comfort/sports - bilstein/eibach/konis

performance - coilovers

your chrome ain't big enough though.
you need at least 19 to look pimper
hope this helps.

i couldnt go any bigger other wise i would get defected, and the cops are harsh as hell on p platers, my window tint is already illegal.

so buying spinrgs that lower an inch or 2 are bad for the car?

what do you mean by blown shocks?

how bout cutting the srpings?

What size are you running now 18"?

cutting springs + lowering springs equals to blown shocks(damaged and worn out) if you don't replace.

stock shocks are fixed to a certain height and running the car lower results in increase wear of the shocks, hence you need shocks to fit the height your lower to.

Cutting springs is a typical cheap method, i recommend not to.

ok so i got 18s, what would be the cheapest shocks i could pick up?
even if its just for the font shocks, beacsue i have a massive sub in the boot wich is lowering the car at the back already

If your goner change your shocks, change all four.. otherwise dont do it at all.. NO point changing 2 shocks, and having to change the other 2 later down the track anyway..

If you want something relatively cheap and good for handling than i'd so go for some koni shocks, otherwise shop around abit...make sure when you shop around for shocks to mention its for a lowerd car
