Decals

Post by Matt » Sun Jun 01, 2014 6:11 pm

Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a debate with myself on whether to keep my original decals, I'm swaying towards removing them but I'm unsure how to go about it? I don't really want to be spending too much £££...... thanks in advance :er:

Such a nice sj. I like the graphics except the "4 wheel drive"
Thats the only bit id take off.

Im in the same position tho. My graphics aee battered
But I do like the hideousness of them :D

Thanks Andy, it's a tough decision as the decals are scratched up :thumbdown: but I totally understand what your saying, one day I hate them the next i like them ;)

Best way to remove them is to use a heat gun, but be careful, just warm up the decal. then it can be pulled off. one on the bonnet, just have the engine running to warm it up.

I personally like the decals on , if they are in a bad state , they are not easy to find original replacement decals.

As SJ decal's go, I think they look nice (not in a Mr's Browns way) :D

I agree though, maybe loose the 4 wheel drive one.

I guess decal removals are like pringles... once you start you can't stop!!!

They look good

Jimny 1.6 not as good as an SJ but still good
